JF Robitaille the critically acclaimed Montreal singer/songwriter has joined the Sparks Music roster and will release a brand new album in the spring of 2013.

Exclaim Magazine has called him “a Leonard Cohen for the new age, but with optimism, melody and a prettier voice”.

Over the last 5 years he has lived and performed in New York, London, Toronto and Montreal and has shared the stage with the likes of Jonathan Richman, Sean Lennon, Tegan and Sara, Julie Doiron, The Dears and St. Vincent. His very first EP was produced by Howard Bilerman [Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade] and Brian Paulson [Beck, Wilco] and was released in 2007 on Nona Hendryx’s label Rhythbank/Warner.
His second album “Calendar” [released in 2011] was once again embraced by the critics and scored major Canadian college radio play as well as charting on CBC Radio 3.

JF is currently demoing tracks for his new album and is also shooting a video in Toronto in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks and months.
