Ottawa singer/songwriter Rory Taillon is a road warrior who has gigged from coast to coast a number of times, and those who have witnessed one of his past Fredericton stops will tell you, Rory is not just an entertainer—he’s a performer. When Taillon sings everything stops, and when it starts again it’s all changed. It’s just that simple.

“His croon enters your cocoon and he asks questions maybe others are asking as the drifting lulls us; the Whys of this time; in the case of Rory, the whys of touring, of writing, recording, the value of song, of life as an artist. And yet the value lies in his voice quietening those other voices, squeezing them out. Contemplating his doubt overcomes our doubt. In his voice we hear possibility, in his doubt we hear hope.” —SlowCity.ca
