Robert is known for his engaging live shows, exceptional songwriting and top-notch musicianship. In concert, he surrounds himself with other great musicians, shares his stories, observations, and humour, and packages it all in big grooves, rootsy vibes, virtuosic solos, and memorable melodies. This show will also include a presentation of his Gypsy Jazz suite “Une Touche Manouche”. Robert’s music is a representation of his Canadian heritage, having lived in Montréal, Toronto and Edmonton, and tapped into both the French and English communities across the country as a bilingual songwriter and performer.
