A “gifted musician” with “a voice of tremendous power and whimsy”, Toronto-based singer-songwriter Rob Szabo is a tireless touring troubadour and a songwriter of the highest caliber. His music has been called “a perfect blend of accessible yet sophisticated acoustic pop.” His CD/DVD Like A Metaphor (2006) received rave reviews, both in Canada and the U.S., where he’s been called “Cobain-worthy”. Canada’s CBC Radio 1 and 3 have been championing it on shows nationwide, and videos for the singles Breaking Even and Good Son got major airplay on the MuchMoreMusic and Bravo networks, where Breaking Even peaked at #2. Szabo’s lyrics are beyond-heartfelt and have a confessional air to them, prompting some journalists to compare him to Elliott Smith & “prime Costello”. His dedication to touring is garnering him an increasingly devoted base of hardcore music fans who often travel great distances to see him play. Rob plays honest, intense music for music lovers.
