Artist description "Vessel to Sail" is a truly Canadian pop singer/songwriter record. A touch of The Guess Who, a bit of Neil Young, some of Leonard Cohenīs introversion, Bryan Adams edginess; earthy, honest and kicking, but Robīs experience in other genres and on another continent give his music a fresh and interesting vibe. In his music thereīs an urgency and clarity from performing for foreign audiences, an understanding of all aspects of production due to working on his own.
