ROB ELO
Rob Elo is an alternative R&B/soul singer and songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist based out of Yellowknife, NT, and initially from Vancouver Island, BC. “I think my music sounds a bit like, ‘Death Cab For Cutie meets Tom Misch”, says Elo. “Darker lyrics, smooth vocals, and heavy pocket”. One can find Rob Elo online, posting music and life stuff on various platforms, or in person playing shows around his current hometown of Yellowknife.
On October 11th, 2024, Rob Elo released his latest EP: ‘Same Mistakes’. “Lyrically, this release is all about this terrifying feeling that I’m destined to make the same mistakes forever.” Says Elo in a 2024 interview with CBC North. “After taking four years to complete my first EP, I vowed to not let the next batch of songs take half as long. Almost exactly four years later, here we are; I feel like I can find a lot of examples in my life where this sort of thing happens. As always, I’ll continue striving to be better the next time around - but maybe this is just part of being a sapiens.”
All that said, Rob Elo is still extremely proud of all the songs on his 2024 EP. All instruments were self-performed and self-recorded EXCEPT for ‘Waiting’ which had amazing bass and drums performed by some very kind and very skilled friends, steven (bass) and jesse (drums).
