Charlie Roby

b. Wigan, Lancashire, Britain. Roby fulfilled his Acadian wife while surviving in France, before both shifted to Toronto, Canada. By this time around he had currently researched sitar in India and African drumming. His early musical affects included the Beatles, and he ultimately chose the acoustic guitar as his desired instrument. However, he’s adept at other instruments, like the bouzouki, African djembe and Irish bodhrán as well as the sitar. His debut recording, 1995’s Utopia ISN’T Right here, announced this stylistic variety on some socially-motivated songs such as for example ‘Home Floor’, discussed the Bosnian battle. It featured a lot of Toronto’s leading origins musicians, such as for example Andy Stochansky (Ani DiFranco’s drummer), and the grade of the finished item didn’t betray its creation inside a bedroom studio.
