You can call him Mr. Matter-o-fact, Mr. Tell-it-like-it should be, or you could stick with just plain old Bob Bunce. This rootsy songwriter lives off the grid and plays off the grid. With a gentle, honesty guitar style that threatens to break out of its pen, Bunce's music is as enticing as it is thought provoking. He's folksy without being to folky, and the man can rock too. Just dig his new platter, "Rural Delivery," and get the news, Jack.

Bob Bunce, with guest Teressa Wilcox, celebrates the release of "Rural Delivery," on Sunday, November 30, at Lovin' Cup, 300 Park Point. 7:30 p.m. 292-9940; lovincup.com.
