Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

>Mark Robertson, the brains and creative force behind the critically
>acclaimed Montreal funk band Bullfrog, is busting loose with his new
>solo project Robertson. After years working the Montreal club scene,
>touring the world as Kid Koala's guitar player for Carpal Tunnel
>Syndrome and then as the front man for Bullfrog, Robertson is stepping
>out and taking his music in a new direction. Robertson's new sound
>reflects his past, a mixture of the stripped down singer songwriter
>style he developed in his busking days combined with the refined flavors
>
>of his R&B, funk and jazz influences. These sensibilities together with
>the acrobatic turntable skills of DJ Kid Koala, a co-producer and
>collaborator on this new recording project, gives an ultra-modern flair
>to the soulful funkiness that emanates from Robertson's fingers and
>lips. Robertson's current touring line up includes Peter Santiago
>(Bullfrog) on drums and bass and DJ P-Love (Medeski Martin & Wood, Kid Koala) on turntables and keyboards.
