Robert Thomas and the sessionmen

International Acoustic Music Award winner Robert Thomas has crafted songs for legends including, Kenny Rogers, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker and the Dixie Chicks. Thomas writes songs we connect with – memorable, sing along, melodies and vivid, poetic, lyrics married to an array of grooves - all introduced with a wry, often humorous, repartee that harkens back to the story telling era of Mark Twain and Garrison Keillor.  Accompanied on dobro, guitar, keyboards and percussion by the “sessionmen” – Ivan Rosenberg and Jon Arsenault - whose credits in their own right include, Alison Krauss, Rita MacNeil, Doc Watson, Tony Rice and The Chieftains - Thomas delivers unique and energetic Folk/Americana mixed with a touch of Bluegrass that has captivated audiences across North America and Europe. The band’s new album is currently charting at #18 on the FAI North American Folk charts.

Rodney Crowell sums up the songwriting of Robert Thomas and the sessionmen –

“These boys know what they’re doing.”

Hugh Christopher Brown of the Tragically Hip sums up the Live artistry of Robert Thomas and the sessionmen –

“Watching Robert’s set, I felt the presence of a true arrow songwriter and unbelievably talented musicians. It sent me back immediately to playing with Guy Clark on mountain stage and artists that have built the north American songbook.”
