In the year he graduated from the Kazan Aviation Institute. Tupoleva and worked on the distribution in the city of Yekaterinburg as an engineer -test until the collapse of the USSR. The guitar became interested in the year, participating in festivals by a student of amateur song.

Until a year, he was a member of the KSP of the city of Yekaterinburg. And, it seems, there was nothing unusual in his biography - it fits compactly in several lines, except, of course, the circumstance that the people talk about: “There would be no happiness, but misfortune helped! Unfortunately, one can include a complex fracture of the leg, which chained the young man for several months to bed for several months, and fortunately, there was a gap that formed in time and space, which had to be filled with something important and necessary.

So, lying in a gypsum on the couch, and the author of songs and a bard was born in one person. Two songs are written on the verses of M. Siper and T. Poletaeva, all the rest - on their own. On today's day Sergey is the author of more than one hundred and forty songs. Since then, the restless soul of Sergei Bokhantsev demanded impressions and roads: under the sails of the cold northern seas, touched by the wind, above the clouds of hiding mountain peaks of the Caucasus and Kazakhstan; He certainly had to see the white nights and the northern lights of the Arctic, as well as to swim in the oil fountain on Yamal; Stand, carefully listening to the whisper, in the bursts of the waves, on the shore of the ocean next to the native Conchita, sadly in eternity.

He was cramped by jackets and unusual ties, they were alien to meetings in banquet and restaurant halls, do not cause bouts of excitement and fanaticism, goals and washers flying into the gate ... But he rode a bicycle with his uglot, went with his friends to the bathhouse, bathed in the winter in the hole, collected cranberries in the village of Kopal in the village of Kopal potatoes.

He still likes to visit and go to the author’s song festivals. Sergey is a laureate and diploma in many festivals of the author’s song of the 10ths, including the II All -Union Tallinn Festival of the Year and the Grushinsky year. He was the chairman and member of the jury of numerous festivals of the author’s song in Russia and in the countries of the former Union .. In the same years, three copyright discs of the CD of the author’s song under the names were published: “Either a moment, or century”, “Dunya” and “Solovushka” recorded at the NP studio - “New Projects” Office in Moscow, the head of the studio - Viktor Zaitsev.

C - G. often made copyright programs in the concert halls of Russia, the CIS countries, then there were successful performances in the concert halls of Germany, Sweden, the USA. In recent years, many songs have been specially written for the duet, and Sergei performed with his wife, Natalya Kotovskaya. The most popular and famous songs of Sergei - “North”, “Prince” and “Solovushka” often sound on the air on Russian Radio “Chanson” and “For those who are on the way”.

His songs are melodic and deeply folk, they find echoes in the soul of performers and listeners, often sound from scenes of festivals, picked up by the loud chorus of bards, flew from all over the earth: “You are pop, Solovushka, on a long -distance road, delighted the soul. Do not execute, head, with a sadness - all, go, the trouble is ahead. " He sings everything that seems to him interesting, musical and significant: from Alexander Rosenbaum to Gennady Perevalov.

Phenomenal musical memory allows Sergey to keep in the repertoire more than four hundred songs of Vladimir Vysotsky. Especially successful in his performance sounds the "Ballad of Time." The Russian folk songs in the Old Russian language are good in the performance of Sergei.

But, nevertheless, the performance of his own songs deserves special attention. They feel the will and male character of the author, love and deep respect for the history of Ancient Rus'. All the work of Sergei is individually and unique, which the brightest evidence is the lines from his shock march “Traveling”: “I have your tears - well, how they are not! Rose roses on the parapet and wait for the mail to your threshold, read the lines between the lines.

I do not say goodbye, my soul, I return to my land. Always on the third shelf a ticket, look for a needle in a stack, my light! Such a successfully established incompatibility - and there is Sergey Bokhantsev. It really is almost a saying: "It is better to hear once than read a hundred times." But, on the other hand, Sergey can purely manly put on his own and establish his position no worse than any apostle of the new faith.

Of course, a small home concert was immediately organized in the circle of friends. The sound lines of the poet cut the Canadian night sky and the sounds of the guitar soared over the silence of the silence, touching the most secret strings of the human soul ... The next day, Sergei and Natalya sailed into a cruise on a large white steamer, but the music and poems of the bard hung in the air for a long time and sounded in the souls and hearts of everyone who had happiness to visit a small home concert ...
