Rob Dickson
Rob Dickson is a songwriter and musician based in Whitehorse, YT. His songs emerge from a place of discovery, of seeking solidity and forming identity. Dickson's lyrics are both narrative and impressionistic, often revealing common experiences in gently transgressive light. The project's foundation is the pairing of Dickson's voice along with cyclic and melodic guitar. Through collaboration with a range of accompanists from across the continent, the songs expand, blending folk music with orchestral elements and progressive pop. The live band's performance is intimate and conversational, with waves of ecstatic energy and quiet intensity. Bandcamp describes Dickson's third full-length album 'Portraits' released in June 2022 as "expertly drawn narrative songs with sharply observed lyrics and rustic instrumentation".
