OR ... you want to have me for a HOUSE CONCERT?
I've recently had the chance to do a few house concerts and was reminded of how much I LOVE doing them. They're some of the best shows I do because of the comfortable relaxed atmosphere, and it's a great excuse for folks to organize a get-together and see people they haven't seen in awhile.

hope to see you on tour this fall. You have friends in low places at IndieCan Radio! This week we interview great artist from Montreal, St. John's and VanCity. www.indiecan.com/radio.htm#epiosode151
You will most definately see me there. :)
Haha, this time if I have work I'm calling off! It's not often I get to see one my favorites in Johnstown.
You should make tee shirts! I know i'd buy one! :)
So ... the story is this: I was listening to Life and Limb this afternoon. Turned it off to listen to R2 and Rich (should I say Ricardo? Terfry) around 5 pm and suddenly, there's a Rob Szabo Life and Limb tune.
Had to double check that I didn't still have the CD playing ... Deja vu all over again.
Lovely to hear you on the radio and hope the western tour rocked.
Ash from the Lydia's Open Stage in Saskatoon... my stereo was in the shop and I just got around to listening to your cd's.... WOW. Beautiful stuff man. I'm a bit musically jaded and things don't move me very often and well... your cd's haven't left my player. Thanks for reinspiring me!
Twas great to see you in Champaign and Toronto, even more fun to tour with you in St Louis and that Indian restaurant! A delightful four-some for some saag paneer. Thank you!
Hey Rob: Sorry for the out-loud-laughs last night. I hope they weren't too disruptive. The satire and wit in your lyrics often makes me laugh out loud, but usually I can leave that at home. Oops.
By the by, 'sad and sadder' songs? 'Degrees of sadness'? Well, yeah. Nothing wrong with that. All delivered with a peppy rhythm or chorus. That's lovely irony and part of what makes me want to listen again and again.
Looking for gigs in Niagara Falls?? Now booking June date for the NIAGARA NEW MUSIC concert series. AS MENTIONED ON 102.1 THE EDGE! keith@phidelityproductions.com
I was just listening to you on ilike. I really enjoy That Cold Hard Sell, B's Song, & All The Sleepy Souls. ( Plus there's older 1 's of yours I love, too!). Stay well & enjoy the longer Spring days!
Hi Rob! Glad to see you're still the touring machine! I live in Toronto now! Hope to catch you at Graffiti's tonight, otherwise, all the best and stay in touch!
