The Dangerous CrayonsBook Robbie Tucker & The Dangerous Crayons In the Summer of 2007 I posted an ad on a popular classifieds Website. I was looking for musicians who would join me on stage for the release of my 3rd album GreenRoom. From that ad I met the very talented Jérôme Labonté, guitarist, vocalist, composer and a passionately dedicated musician. After the release party we continued to work together on new tunes as well as getting more solid arrangements down for the ones we had. One day during a rehearsal at Jérôme's house, the music we were playing caught the attention of his roommate and musician Guillaume Turcotte. Not too long after that Jérôme spoke with his good friend from Quebec city François Leclerc and talked him into playing bass. Well the band continued to grow my Parkinson's kicked into another gear, coupled with bizarre side effects from the medication I was about to go through a rough patch.

Although I had become somewhat musically unavailable Jérôme and I continued to work together on seeing the band evolve in a positive direction. Enter the Brass. I have always loved horns. Big fat horns. It's no surprise that the next stage of the game was the addition of a small brass section. Since no charts had been written out for any of my music Jérôme began working on a four part arrangement. With each new (younger) edition to the band I felt a rebirth of my music. Music that I had worked on and recorded in my bedroom was now coming to life onstage and it felt good, really good. The dedication and inborn desire to make music I had felt for more then 20 years now surrounded me. On Stage with the Crayons I cannot think of a greater feeling then being onstage with these talented musicians. They have allowed me to bring my songs to life like I have only experienced in dreams. True passion for and ability to make music results in a great musician and I am truly honored to be surrounded by such talents, desire and love for music.
