Harold Elwin “Bo” Bice has released five albums since his stint on “American Idol” — “The Real Thing,” “See The Light,” “3,” “New Soul Revival,” and “Kingdom Within” — and effortlessly blends rock, country, blues, and gospel. But, Bice was never a one-trick pony and would eventually go on to express his talent in a myriad of ways. As he explained to CBS News in 2006, “I was never the guy that sat back and waited for things to happen … It doesn’t stop once you get your face on TV; that’s the beginning of the hard work.”
Bice talked to Upside Adelaide, sharing that 2011, the year after he dropped his album “3,” was a pivotal year for him. “I decided to make some changes … [I] started to dedicate myself a lot more to thinking about who I am as a person.” After taking some time away from the studio, Bice then fronted the legendary classic jazz-rock band Blood, Sweat & Tears and toured the world with them between 2013 and 2018. Even though his time with them ended, he once told The Music that he would not have any regrets about his stint with the group. He then joined other artists in 2022 and performed during the opening ceremony of the World Games. Bice switched it up again in 2023 when he starred in “Rock of Ages.” He told Broadway World, “Stepping into a theatre role is exciting and something I’ve always wanted to pursue.”
