CRITIC’S PICK: John-Robert
Recommended by Hal Horowitz as part of Creative Loafing’s May 2026 Critic’s Picks
Fri., May 15
John-Robert
Eddie’s Attic
This young Virginia singer/songwriter recorded his first EP in LA, but realized that by doing so he lost the essence of the down-home rootsy qualities that was what was so captivating about his easy flowing folk/pop. Following his instinct, Robert returned to that more stripped-down approach for his 2023 EP. Recent singles show him combining both for a sweetly melodic sound that should resonate with a crossover Americana audience. It’s hard to ignore how much his airy, plaintive voice sounds like that of John Mayer, but that becomes more of a plus than a distraction as his easy flowing songs kick in. Definitely worth a look. — Hal Horowitz
