Robert Thomas and the Sessionmen – Live in Concert!

Join us for a special night of music that gives back!

Robert Thomas, winner of the 2025 International Acoustic Music Award, is bringing his North American album release tour to Saint John on Friday, May 30.

A gifted songwriter with a long-standing career, Robert has written for music legends such as Kenny Rogers, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker, and the Chicks. His songs are known for their relatable lyrics, unforgettable melodies, and a storytelling style that connects deeply with audiences.

He’ll be joined on stage by Ray Legere and Jon Arsenault—acclaimed East Coast musicians known as The Sessionmen—whose credits include collaborations with Alison Krauss, Doc Watson, Rita MacNeil, Tony Rice, and The Chieftains.

Together, they’ll deliver an inspiring performance filled with rich harmonies, skillful musicianship, and a mix of folk, Americana, and bluegrass.

Making a difference through music

At various times over his long and storied songwriting career, Robert “moonlighted” as an Anesthesiologist for the Horizon Health Network. Having seen the challenges in the system firsthand, he wanted to give back in a way that matters. His upcoming theatre tour across New Brunswick and Atlantic Canada is his way of giving back — with proceeds going to local healthcare foundations to support needed health care initiatives.

Proceeds from the concert will support patient care through the Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation. Every ticket helps make a difference in the lives of patients right here in our community.
