PRESS RELEASE
The wait is nearly over!
Legendary banjo virtuoso, Joseph C "Butch" Robins, has completed a new CD, entitled "GROOVE". After working as a sideman for the Father of Blue Grass Music, Bill Monroe, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member, Leon Russell and big-band leader, Harry James, Butch’s musical influences are diverse and significant. His new CD reflects these influences with a unique sound that can’t be pigeon-holed into any specific genre, other than "wonderful music". Grinning, toe-tapping and head-bobbing may be perfect descriptions of a listener’s reaction to the music. Creative melodies and lyrics (sung by Butch, himself) range from ethereal to funky, while flowing seamlessly from one to the next. The ensemble, consisting of banjo, bass, keyboards & percussion creates a "wall of sound" with a perfect blend of individual instruments, although each is easily discernible and allows the listener to appreciate the undeniable proficiency of the musicians. Repeated listening to the songs/tunes yields new and previously unheard nuances in each arrangement, showcasing Butch’s masterful musicianship and creativity.
The CD release date is yet to be determined - keep your eyes and ears open. Butch Robins is a musical artist whose time has come!
