Beyond Borders presents - Pat Robitaille 2010.04.16
For an artist in the early years of a career, Pat's hard-earned time on the road already shines through with a comfortable attitude on and off stage. This isn't a musician by trade, this is someone who makes music because they have to. He's born and bred in Windsor, Ontario, the city of roses and the automotive capitol of Canada. His neighbours to the north (Windsor is one of the only cities in Canada that sits geographically south of America) in Detroit, Michigan paved the way for what is rock and soul music today. Pat's brand of music doesn't quite showcase the sound of Motown Detroit, but it's got the soul and spirit to measure up. He doesn't tour with a band or record with one. He prefers to keep the decisions and performances up to himself, yet he's still able to paint a landscape in a song as if a hundred people had given their advice. He's had a few pats on the back from respectable artists along the way, too, including Peter Frampton, Sam Roberts, Matthew Good, The Beach Boys & Bob Rock.
