Pat Robitaille

Pat Robitaille (born 1986) is a Canadian folk rock musician.

Early life Robitaille was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He grew up listening to the Motown soul and gospel music from bordering Detroit, Michigan.

He was given his first guitar when he was 11 years old. Despite being close to graduation, he left high school at age 16 to focus on his music career.

Career

Robitaille has independently released four full-length albums and several EPs. One of his music videos reached the #1 spot on MuchMoreMusic's Daily Top 10 countdown.

In September 2008, he released Two Forty Eight (the title comes from his house address) to a strong consensus of positive reviews. He recorded the album at home, using GarageBand. Exclaim! magazine described it as "a well conceived, albeit poorly executed, collection of songs, featuring a man with a golden voice."

Robitaille took a break from his solo career in 2012, returning to his home town of Windsor, Ontario. Here he formed the band The Walkervilles (named after a neighbourhood of Windsor) with members of the folk band Michou. The Walkervilles include Robitaille on vocals and guitar, Mike Hargreaves on bass, and Stefan Cvetkovic on drums.
