Bob is a very talented performer. He brought the fun to our festival. He is funny and talented, playing a broad range of music and interacting with the crowd. He was accommodating to all the requests, even the kids! He had us singing and dancing. It was just a great event!

I had an awesome time! Thank you so much for having me
Bob Donaldson was booked for a 50th birthday for my husband and grad party for my daughter combo event. He was absolutely amazing between the acoustic music with a twist and the comedy it was outstanding. Bob went above and beyond, there are so many good things to say that some of my family now think he is part of our family. Thank you so much for accepting our gig. We would not hesitate to book another event in the future.

What to Expect
Very interactive and entertaining show. Bob has the ability to put together a solid set list that works for the event. He is also a pro at leaving the set list in the dust when the requests start flowing. Everyone in the room feels like it's a backyard or kitchen party...no matter how large or small the gathering is!
About
Bob Donaldson grew up in Rimbey, a little town in Central Alberta. Where he was surrounded by music all the time. Family and family friends all from the east coast were always at his parent’s house with guitars, banjos, fiddles and everything that constituted an instrument.
For over 30 years of playing guitar and entertaining, you can see his musical influences in his writing style as well as his unique arrangements of traditional and not-so-traditional covers.
His musical influences go from Johnny Horton, Oak Ridge Boys to Garth Brooks, Beach Boys, The Nylons, Metallica, Guns and Roses and everything in between. Bob is no stranger to the stage, whether it is opening up for the legendary Dr. Hook, headlining comedy shows with his musical comedy to performing as lead characters in musical theatre and his music and vocal directing. He is now based out of Edmonton.
“A good song is not just words that rhyme, it is the art of blending fantasy with a touch of reality” – Bob Donaldson
