No one says great Canadian folk rock like Pat Robitaille...at least in my opinion. First introduced to his acoustic driven melodies while cruisin' in the car with a friend in search of the nearest bulk barn, I have to say I wasn't hooked right away. It took at least another ten minutes on the way home to think to myself, I should burn that for myself (nothing says honour to a musician like a burned copy of their disk). In any case it was later on that week while cruising the web that I fell upon his myspace site and found a tour date for this Thursday at the Whiskey in downtown Windsor. Sweet!
So what do you get when you listen to his music? Not only a relaxing melody to wind down your day but also a sultry voice that sweeps you away...not to mention he ain't that bad lookin. So what makes him Canadian?
Well it helps that he was born and raised here in Windsor, which is pretty cool. Also there are a bunch of Canadian names and places that create that nostalgic feeling of Canadian summers up north. In his song "Leonard Cohen (Northern Lights)" he talks about famous Canadian poet Leonard Cohen,andGeorgian Bay...which you can check out the music video for here-->
You can also listen to more of his music at his myspace page here
