Dana & Susan Robinson

It’s a joy to see this duo back in North Devon after far too long. With blazing fiddle and banjo tunes, harmony singing and poignant songs and stories, these two take you on their journey across America, and convey the mystery and wonder of the places they visit. A native of the Pacific Northwest of the US, Dana relocated to New England and discovered a thriving songwriters’ scene and a deep well of traditional mountain music. Susan’s background was in both classical music and the Scottish fiddle music of her ancestors, and later she studied with many of the great old-time musicians. Together, they perform an exciting blend of original songs of the American landscape and Appalachian music, presenting the sound and feel of bedrock America. Add in guitar and mandolin and two rich, intimate voices, and quietly spectacular musicianship, and the result is a beautifully laid-back but enthralling evening with two lovely people.
