With his third release SOLO RECORD, Canada’s most touring artist ROB MOIR finally brings the album that closes the gap between his sweaty live shows and the melodious sounds of an artful studio production.

Reduced to the essentials in order to add that certain extra sound and instrumentation at crucial points.

In addition to his lyrics, which describe the adversities of life in an extremely readable, eloquent and sometimes humorous way, it is his impressive voice that carries the songs and makes each song a very personal affair. Perhaps to sort him musically between Wilco, Springsteen and Billy Bragg on the record shelf.

The first single “Sometimes You Gotta Go”, in which he assures a younger version of himself that it is absolutely right to follow his passion and work on his own version of a fulfilled dream against all odds, sums up the songwriter’s attitude.

Constantly on tour, he keeps all the strings of his creative work in his own hands and thus continuously builds up a growing circle of fans without having to bend or make unwanted concessions.

Since the release of his debut album “Places To Die” (2013) and the subsequent “Adventure Handbook” (2015), which (backed by a band) took him in the direction of today’s sound, Rob Moir has played tirelessly in Australia, Canada, Europe and Japan, sharing the stage with Neko Case, Frightened Rabbit, Frank Turner and The White Buffalo, among others, and yet he is not resting on his laurels from several hundred shows.

O-Ton: I’m making fans the old fashioned way – I play live. !
