Described by CBC Music as one of 10 Vancouver acts to watch, Only A Visitor is a quintet that blurs genre boundaries by straddling the line between art music and pop. Classically trained composer and arranger Robyn Jacob’s eclectic song writing showcases vocal techniques and arrangements that invoke Dirty Projectors and Bjork. With asymmetrical rhythms twisted around a pop skeleton, Only A Visitor makes room for themselves between pop and experimental music.

Since 2015, the group (drummer Kevin Romain, bassist Jeff Gammon, and singers Emma Postl and Celina Kurz, along with Jacob) has released one EP and two full length records. Together Only a Visitor has appeared at the Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver Jazz Festivals, as well as toured in Canada and internationally. In the works: one new full-length record and a theatrical concert collaboration with composer Nancy Tam, which will be presented at Music on Main’s Modulus Festival in 2022.
