Robert Thomas and the Sessionmen Feature (September 2024)
Robert Thomas is a Canadian singer-songwriter who has had a significant career as a songwriter for major artists. Based in Moncton, Thomas is also known for his work with The Session Men, a group of skilled musicians from New Brunswick. The band members include Ray Legere (fiddle, mandolin, guitar) and Jon Arseneau (guitar). Collectively, they have performed with well-known artists like Alison Krauss, The Rankins, and Natalie MacMaster. Thomas’s band focuses on acoustic roots, folk, and Americana music. In 2022, they toured Atlantic Canada to promote their album Parallel Lines, which features songs from Thomas’s vast songwriting repertoire presented in their original, stripped-down forms.
Catherine MacLellan, an acclaimed folk singer-songwriter from Prince Edward Island, has built a successful career with her deeply personal and reflective music. Known for albums like Silhouette and The Raven’s Sun, she has won multiple awards, including Junos and East Coast Music Awards. Catherine, the daughter of legendary Canadian musician Gene MacLellan, continues to honor her father’s legacy while creating her own path in the folk music scene.
Catherine recently produced the latest album for Robert Thomas and the Session Men, which includes their new single "A River Runs Through." This collaboration showcases her production talents alongside Thomas’s songwriting expertise, bringing a unique depth to the project.
As part of their tour, Robert Thomas and the Session Men recently stopped in New Glasgow, where they recorded an interview with East Coast DNA host Darcy Walsh at the Shoebox Cantina and Shoebox Studios. The conversation delved into the making of the new album, the production process with MacLellan, and the storied songwriting careers of Thomas, Ray Legere, and Jon Arseneau.
