ROBERT LARRABEE
For over twenty years, Medicine Hat Alberta based, Canadian singer-songwriter and performer Robert Larrabee has delighted audiences everywhere from the U.S. to London to Sydney—and, of course, throughout his native Canada. Robert has made a name for himself with a one man act audience members call “a great mix of music, talent and humour” that keeps you “laughing, dancing and smiling all night long;” Robert has spent time as an actor in Dinner Theatre, a Singer in many bar bands in his early years, and as a sought after Corporate Entertainer for the last twelve years. As a corporate entertainer Robert used his Dinner Theatre, and singing experience to not only entertain, but also to write, produce, and promote his one man act," An Evening With the Legends" across Canada and abroad.
"I enjoyed performing my Vegas style variety show because I was able to sing songs that I loved, the music I grew up with, and present the original singer in a very entertaining way, to enhance what they were already doing back then, for an audience now. I always believe in the songs I sing, and really enjoy what I'm doing on stage, if I'm having a great time it's contagious. I loved doing up to twelve costume changes in one show, the comedy and audience interaction was fantastic! I can't wait to bring that experience into my new all original music."
Now this talented performer is turning his attention towards his life long dream, of composing and promoting his own original songs. Robert describes his style as “a cross between Jazz pop, and R&B,” and he writes tunes that focus on love and joy, and his own life experience. With a voice that is smooth and strong, or light and sweet, Robert expresses himself though up beat rhythms and tempos that lift you up, and make your fingers snap, your face smile, and your feet dance. This singer songwriter is first and foremost an entertainer, as such, he has chosen Nashville's Chris McDonald. "When I told my producer I needed an arranger that would arrange the horns for a performance application, he introduced me to Chris, and Chris understands that these songs have to be dynamic for performance reasons, and they are incredible. The live show application of these songs will be Fantastic!"
Robert's previous tunes are in rotation on Jango.com and his tracks are available on I Tunes, Rhapsody, and the Lime Wire Store. Robert is currently releasing his first Nashville Pop Jazz Album "Always Together" that will be available this summer of 2010. He hopes that by sharing his music, he can offer listeners a taste of something special, songs with beautiful String, and horn arrangements,that will move them. "Nothing moves people like music, especially when it's connected to a special time or place in their lives, I want my music to be a part of a connection like that"
