Concert – Rob Lutes, with special guests The Wineberries

“Rob is one of the unique voices of North American music; a captivating performer, stellar songwriter, and a gifted storyteller. Rob’s original material is a masterclass in songwriting; spare, essential lyrics that get at the meat of his topics with no filler. Lines like “I want to start a fight just to let you win” resonate with anyone that has ever navigated a long-term relationship. Rob is equally compelling as a music historian, with a keen sense of “songs that matter” from the early days of North American popular music. All of this delivered with one of the great voices of modern folk and his signature, hard-driving fingerstyle guitar.” – Thom Lambert, Haliburton Folk Society

Since the release of his first album Gravity, Rob Lutes has steadily built a collection of exquisite songs that inhabit the intersection of blues, folk, Americana, and the contemporary singer-songwriter genre.

As skilled delivering a Piedmont blues classic as he is performing his own acclaimed original songs, Lutes’s masterful fingerstyle guitar work and soulful voice bring an unmistakable intensity to his live performances.

A two-time Canadian Folk Music Awards Contemporary Singer of the Year,  Rob’s performances feature his own well crafted songs along with selected gems from music history, along with stories that bring them to life.

Rob will be joined by special guests The Wineberries.

“Rob Lutes will soon be counted amongst the ranks of the best in the industry. Insightful and meaty… gutty and gritty… A rare talent that keeps getting better with each project released, one listen will prove he is more than a passing fancy; this guy is here to stay. ” — Matt Large
