I believe Live Music is special because it's the best way musicians and music fans can connect.
My goal is to make life just a little sweeter for those who spend time with me at my shows and events.
I do my best to offer a dynamic and entertaining experience, reaching people through great songs, exceptional musicianship and interesting stories.
I perform in English, French, or both. Whatever makes sense for the occasion.
I perform in many different settings, from solo, to big band, and everything in between. This allows me to be flexible with pricing.
Robert Walsh – Brief Bio
Experience the magic of Robert Walsh. This award-winning Edmonton artist, performing in English and French, masterfully blends Roots, Blues, Gypsy jazz and more. Imagine Keb' Mo' meets Django Reinhardt with a touch of Clapton.
Walsh's soulful vocals and world-class guitar are complemented by banjo, tuba, violin, and more, creating a rich, dynamic sound. From heartfelt ballads to foot-stomping grooves, each performance is a unique journey filled with energy, storytelling, exceptional songwriting, and inspiring musicianship.
Walsh's engaging stage presence and humour draw you in, sharing stories inspired by his Canadian roots and decades as a musician.
His career spans multiple genres, collaborating with artists like Andrea Menard on projects like the Sterling Award-winning "Rubaboo," and sharing stages with legends like The Pointer Sisters, Stewart Copeland and Tom Cochrane. Don't miss this unforgettable musical experience!

Live Performance
Because I’m a musician, I like to make music with other musicians, and the more the merrier! However, I can be hired to play solo, as a duo (with one other musician), as a trio (with two other musicians), or with 4 or more players. Sometimes this involves violins and banjos, brass sections, or entire Big Bands or Orchestras.
Each configuration of musicians offers something a little different, but I don’t want to let a budget come between me and my audience! Shows can be tailored for different audiences (i.e. English or French, or both), a variety of occasions (i.e. songwriter showcase vs. a headline concert), and a range of budgets.
Some bookers like to add a workshop or a speaking engagement to my visit, to help develop local musicians, connect with entrepreneurs, or expand their reach. I can offer an attractive package for a combination workshop/presentation and a concert. See below for a range of services offered.
