Jay Road Music "With complete confidence, professionalism and talent Jay swept us away. He makes you feel comfortable and engages just enough to be a memorable and remarkable. He is a must do!!" Based in Edmonton, Alberta 18th September 2026 Shon Larkin - Private event

Terry Okrusko "He is a true pro who learned the songs perfectly , easy and friendly, and ready at a moment’s notice. Highly recommended by any band !!" Based in Edmonton, Alberta USA rockband - Fill in

luna on drums "Robert was awesome on every level. I really appreciated his solid drumming skills and the sounds. Normally I’m annoyed by drummers - Simply because they’re too loud. But Robert was better than that! And the percussion foundation he played for both rehearsals and the show was off the charts! Robert was professional, timely, hard working and clear in his communication. Most of my songs were pop. 1 tune was more alternative rock. He toggled between the styles easily, kept a steady beat, established good tempos & always with a supportive attitude. I would highly recommend him for any band or musician in need of a drummer." Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States (1,081 miles from Edmonton) 26th January 2026 Kristin Hanninen
