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.

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!
Rob's coming to London, Rob's coming to London, Rob's coming to London ....
I knew if I said it often enough, it would come true. Pleased as punch to hear that you're performing with Craig Cardiff this Wed. evening. Looking forward to the show.
It's happened a few times now - a song shuffles on the ipod, and i think, excitedly, those drums sound amazing, that's the drum sound i want! then the unmistakeable Szabo voice enters and i realize, "Like a Metaphor" strikes again. Congrats to the whole team.
tonight may be the show that never was. hope the weather holds out. i was looking forward to hearing you again (i saw you at ocff, i..m creepy like that)...
