Hailing from Moncton, Robert Thomas and the Sessionmen are enroute to the Canadian Folk Music Awards in Calgary, and they'll be stopping here in Saskatoon for an intimate performance in our living room! Yay!!Here's a bit about them:
"A vibrant fusion of John Prine's sharp wit and insight and Lyle Lovett’s musicality paired with the Live energy and spirited performance of their Canadian cousins, Great Big Sea. Thomas and his mates craft an unforgettable musical experience that harmonizes storytelling with dynamic stage presence.” - The LA Times
2025 International Acoustic Music Award winner and 2026 Canadian Folk Music Award nominee Robert Thomas has crafted songs for legends including, Kenny Rogers, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker, and the Dixie Chicks. As a staff writer for music publishing, Thomas was tasked with writing radio friendly songs and his diverse repertoire reflects that. Thomas writes songs we can all connect with - memorable sing along melodies, ear friendly lyrics couched in an array of grooves - all introduced with a masterful, often humorous, repartee that harkens back to the story telling era of Mark Twain and Stuart Maclean. Accompanied on fiddle, mandolin, guitar, keyboards and percussion by the “sessionmen” - Ray Legere and Jon Arsenault - whose credits in their own right include, Alison Krauss, Rita MacNeil, Doc Watson, Tony Rice and The Chieftains - Thomas delivers beautiful, energetic Folk/Americana mixed with a touch of Bluegrass that has captivated audiences across North America and Europe.
