Details:
Robert Wilson was just 16 years old, but he already knew what he was going to do for the rest of his life. Standing in a crowd watching Billy Bragg play, he was amazed by how the solo English musician captivated his audience. One day, he decided, his live shows would inspire the same reaction.

Now on the heels of his much-anticipated sophomore album, "Be My Habit," the multiple award-winning singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer has established himself as one of Vancouver's most engaging live performers, and has shared live shows with Academy Award Nominee Aimee Mann, Grammy Award winner Shelby Lynn, Jason Mraz, Dan Bern, eighties soft rockers Air Supply and The Brothers Creeggan (Barenaked Ladies), to name just a few.

A textured blend of soul and folk, Robert's highly personal songs range from sweetly quiet to playfully upbeat - and, often using a loop pedal to sample live melodies and percussive beats on his guitar, he creates a uniquely rich, layered sound.

Robert's onstage persona is just as warm and captivating as his music. Weaving tales about everything from tour stop adventures to world politics to romantic relationships into his performance, he instantly makes any venue feel like a living room filled with friends.
âI like music thatâs honest. Music that sounds like it was hatched out of reality. Music that expresses our complicated lives in simple language. Music is a universal language that can let us know that weâre not alone in the world, that someone else shares our feelings. Iâm interested in songs that help bring people to that place.â
