Bio
"Hideaway" - 2005 Release
Peter Robinson is a new Canadian artist in the Adult Contemporary genre who
touches on many musical styles. His sound is both soothing and soulful, with
shades of Jazz, Soul and Pop music.
Peter's Grand Piano and warm vocals accent his groovy R&B band, with a
jazzy saxophone and lush background vocals. His first release, Hideaway, is
a fresh take on jazz & soul, with songs which search out questions about
life, love and relationships in a world that can't stand still.
Songs about love, loss, and longing reach out directly to the listener, as
if Peter is thinking out loud on record. There is a comforting quality to
the music, like Rickie Lee Jones, with all the elegance of Diana Krall, and
an intimate vocal sound like Norah Jones.
More wistful than an Elton or a Billy, Peter is the new Piano Man.
