Summer Concert Series: Robert Gillies

Robert Gillies is one part award-winning songwriter, one part folk-popper, and every bit an infectiously energetic performer. Ask him what he writes and the may take you by surprise: "Soap rock. I write folky, poppy, soft rock. Too many words for a genre. So I put it all together and got soap rock. It says it all, though; soap is bubbly and refreshing, and that's what I love to play. Music that gets you high on life and deeper in."

This Boston-based Scot is making moves, and fast. After snatching up a degree at Berklee College of Music in just over two years, he hit the earth sprinting with a performance on Ellen, appearances with Andy Grammer, Charlie Worsham, and Charlie Puth, and a slew of songwriting awards. Armed with his latest release, 'Astronaut', Robert Gillies is rocketing into the stratosphere, and he wants to take you along for the ride!

Every Thursday from the middle of June until the middle of September, Club Passim presents the Passim/Berklee Summer Concert Series on Palmer Street in Harvard Square. The concerts are held weekly from 1PM - 2PM.
