The shows we performed in Vancouver and Jackson,Tennessee were really fantastic. Both places were new venues for us. I hope we will return again soon. Vancouver is an especially great place to visit. The music fans are really enthusiastic. It was a great place to perform the music from Time and Tide as there has not yet been an official release in Canada. I have begun writing for a new CD project. There is no time frame set because it is so early in the process. I do hope to record sometime in late 2010. I will post progress reports as we go along. Performance schedule for the new year is beginning to form. Look for us in March and continuing through the year. Soon I will begin to release many concert performances for download, both current and some from "back in the day." Details will be announced soon. Wishing you all the best, Robbie August 10, 2009 - Update You can now download "Got to Believe This Time" on CDBaby.com. The recording is a collaboration between me and my good friend Marco Taggiasco. Marco lives in Rome, Italy. He is a musician, arranger writer and recording artist. I met him in Rome last December while I was renting an apartment there. Marco asked me to work on a song for which he had written the music and melody. He envisioned it as a lyric in English language and I was able to write something appropriate. I hope you get a chance to check it out .

Your continued support for my music is really important to me, especially during these tough times in the music industry. Many of you write in, asking "where are all the singer/songwriters that we loved so much"? The fact is that many of my contemporaries continue to record and perform, but the road is a rough one. For the most part, major labels have cut loose your favorites. Corporate-run radio has all but closed the playlists for artists like myself. Our struggle to keep up the flow of music is made possible only because of friends like you. Keep stopping by to see what I'm up to. Let me hear from you whenever you want to get in touch...Stay tuned ........ Robbie  Robbie
