Vermont-based singer-songwriter Dana Robinson is making a highly anticipated return to the United Kingdom for the first time in six years. This special visit marks the launch of his latest album, The Sound of the Word, which represents his 14th release across three decades as a prominent figure in the folk music scene.
A Musical Journey Rooted in Nature and Community
Dana Robinson, known for his skilled guitar and fiddle playing, has been a fixture in folk circles on both sides of the Atlantic since the early 2000s. His new album serves as a profound exploration of contemporary global issues intertwined with reflective meditations on rural living. The songwriting demonstrates a deep reverence for the natural world and landscapes, weaving narratives that delve into country life with a sense of wonder, humour, and strong community connections.
Artistic Style and Influences
Robinson's lyrical craftsmanship captures moments in time with remarkable detail, reflecting universal truths and our connection to the forces that shape existence. His guitar technique blends elements of traditional old-time flat picking with country blues, resulting in a distinctive rhythmic style that is uniquely his own. On the fiddle, his playing draws inspiration from the energetic, rhythmic Round Peak-style of North Carolina and the melodic, often melancholic repertoire originating from West Virginia.
In an era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence and digital innovation, Dana's music remains firmly anchored in human experience, natural rhythms, and timeless truths. His live performances are celebrated for their vitality and excitement, offering audiences a chance to reconnect with the simple, beautiful aspects of life that provide nourishment and joy.
