In support of the Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation, International Acoustic Music Award winner, Robert Thomas is thrilled to bring his legendary trio, “the sessionmen” to the BMO Studio Theatre on May 30 at 7:30pm. Please join us for a wonderful night of Folk/Roots songs, stories and fabulous musicianship. 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 hits and his diverse repertoire reflects that. He writes songs we can all connect with - memorable sing along melodies, clever, ear friendly lyrics couched in an array of rhythms - all introduced with a captivating, often humorous, repartee that is a throwback to the story telling era of Mark Twain, Garrison Keillor 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. One sentence from Rodney Crowell sums up the artistry of Robert Thomas and the sessionmen - “Those boys know what they’re doing.”
