biographical info

When you gather together three tremendously gifted musicians, sparks will fly. When one of those musicians is one of the region’s finest singer/songwriters you have the potential for a four alarm musical fire.

Robin Hunter and the Six Foot Bullies formed to give Robin Hunter’s songs the most versatile and expressive forms for his twisted wordplay and desperate song-characters. Robin plays his Martin D15S acoustic or his National resophonic, chopping notes and sliding glass over strings with a deep well of feeling and intensity.

John Woroschuk is a musician who excels in great textures and melodic lines. His specialty is delivering the most soulful and lonesome sounds at exactly the right time and place. He is one of the area’s great musical sidemen and instrumentalists and also has two of his own solo CDs. He derives his tones from his custom made Lazar square neck resonator and his Breedlove Mandolin.

Rounding out the trio is Thom Golub, one of the most in-demand musicians in our area. He is an incredibly versatile upright bassist who is equally at home playing Jazz, classical or folk. He is also a songwriter and composer and is capable of pulling some of the strangest sounds you have ever heard out of his Bela Nagy bass.

The trio was formed in 2002, and has two recordings available, 2004’s “Your Heart My Sleeve,” and the brand new “You Just Gotta Get Used Of It” Robin Hunter and the Six Foot Bullies will be coming to your town soon.

The band's repertoire is made up of songs written by Robin Hunter and those songs are interpreted by John Woroschuk and Thom Golub in an intoxicating blend of different roots flavours.
Robin Hunter has said in an interview that "My favorite music has always been the kind that's a little bit hard to pin down."

An ideal band for any folk festival workshop stage, the Bullies really know their way around their instruments and songs and can improvise and interpret many styles of music instantly. Robin Hunter's songs are deep and originally powerful descriptions of the human condition in it's many forms that stick with the listener for a long time. You will really enjoy this music.
