Dana Robinson - Acoustic concert

Known around town as the guy that organizes concerts and festivals in Cabot, Dana is taking the rare opportunity to book a show for himself. 

In 2015, after a 25-year career of performing across the US and UK, Dana settled in Cabot to get off the road and put down roots. Dana's songwriting continued, however. In 2019, Dana released The Town That Music Saved, which earned the "Best Vermont Album of the Year" by The Times-Argus. Dana's upcoming release, Sound of the Word is part meditation on the beauty of our local landscape, and part thought-provoking look at the state of the world. 

Due for release in January, Sound of the Word has been four years in the making. Join us for a sneak peak at Dana's new cycle of songs and hear the stories behind the compositions. From performing at Carnegie Hall to providing music for Ken Burns’ documentaries, Dana's rich voice and landscape-inspired lyrics connect the listener to the world around us.

Dana's website: https://www.robinsongs.com

Seven Days writes, “Dana is a master storyteller, spinning his yarns with the precise skill of an artisan loom weaver."

 “Rural America explored with elegant simplicity. Their music and cleanly poetic songwriting bring to mind the great folksingers of our times.” Asheville Citizen-Times
