October Update! 13 Great New Songs!

Hi there!

It has been a busy summer. I have, happily, spent considerable time in Idaho this year after being in the Gem State less than 25% in 2012. Last year was especially hectic with my music travels to Cleveland (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame gig), Juneau, Alaska (Alaska Folk Music Festival), Las Vegas (Clarion Convention Center gigs) and the numerous performances in San Diego and Idaho. I have to admit to getting burned out and feeling like I had to be in too many places.

As a result, I made the commitment to enjoying my Idaho home on the Snake River. I have done so and have written 13 songs since my cd, IN GOOD HANDS was completed last October. I am really excited about the new tunes and look forward to sharing them with you in written and cd forms. The lyrics to the new songs are posted on the website and can be found at the LYRICS tab.

With 46 songs copyrighted, including the 13 new songs, I am starting to think about getting back into the studio to begin cd #3. The new songs are, as before, cross genre, including 3 rock, 4 country, 2 blues, 3 ballads and 1 jazz composition.

I hope your summer and year to date has been as exciting and fulfilling as mine!

Let me hear from you!

Bruce

What's Happening

Hi,
I have been busy writing songs since the end of 2012. The release of the new double CD kept me busy the last quarter of 2012 and reviews have been great. Thanks to all of you who now own IN GOOD HANDS!

I spent the winter in San Diego and, in fact, much of my time during 2012. I headed to Idaho in mid February and have been writing songs, 10 new tunes to date for a total of 43 in my quiver............42 copyrighted and are on the website LYRICS tab (with lyrics AND chords for those wanting to dabble into my music).

I have not been performing much in recent months, just a few times in Las Vegas, a benefit for a senior rehab center in La Jolla, CA and will be playing at a beautiful venue this Friday night in Twin Falls, Idaho. The function will be attended by 400-500 people at $100 per person for a benefit dinner/auction to raise money for the local Homeless Shelter..............a great cause that I am happy to be able to donate my performance.

Weather is wanting to warm up...........70's this weekend! Yeah!

I have taken advantage of the winter weather by converting my vinyl record album collection to digital. A great experience and trip down memory lane to put both sides of over 300 albums on the turntable, side by side, and listen to the 60's-70's music of our youth. Now all on my pc and also in iTunes, synched up with my iPod.............fun stuff.

I am currently converting all the family video from tape to dvd..........another great run down memory lane with getting to revisit the youth of my kids.

Be good!

A great evening in Las Vegas at the Clarion Convention Center Hotel & Casino. Sonny Boy Smith drove in from Twin Falls, Idaho to join Bruce Robinson for an evening of Bruce's original music. Gus Hawkins, clearly, was named BEST FAN of the NIGHT. After the show, Gus treated Sonny and Bruce to an evening of jazz at a local "locals" jazz club far removed from the strip. Outstanding!

THE NEW DOUBLE CD SHIPS IN 2 DAYS! If you haven't ordered yet, be sure to go to the MUSIC OR STORE tabs on the website to secure your order. A new poster is also available! Be sure to check out the update website: new photos, all the lyrics with chords, updated bio and bios for the incredible band on the CD, CD artwork and song samples for all the new songs.

Some fun gigs recently in Idaho at Mimi's in Buhl for the 3rd Monday Wine Tasting events on Sept 29 and again last night. The new CD is shipping in two days. Quite a few pre-orders for my new double cd last night at Mimi's as the music is being really well received. Sonny Boy Smith on harmonica and Richard on bass, again helped make the night a special one for everybody. We even played a few of the brand new songs that will be on the NEXT album. Richard and Sonny had never heard the songs..........and we still wowed the audience.

Upcoming schedule can always be found on the website CALENDER tab. We added a fun gig this coming Saturday at TRIBES in Twin Falls, who is hosting A GATHERING OF ARTISTS, 32 artists showcasing their art from 2 to 7pm. A large crowd is expected all day and into the evening! Hope you can make it.

Back to San Diego on Sunday with upcoming gigs Oct 28th at Le Papagayo 7-10pm and Nov 10 at Jose's in La Jolla from 9:30pm til close. Aristotle Georgio, the amazing harmonica player who played on my cd will join me along with drummer, Larry Willson. Sonny Boy Smith will join me on December 1st in Las Vegas at the Clarion Casino.
