About

Dana Robinson is a songwriter, guitarist and old time fiddler with a warm and soulful singing style.

Following a well-received 15-date tour in March, November sees the second leg of Dana’s The Sound of the Word tour, celebrating his latest CD release.

His songs tell stories about rural life with intimate observations of the natural world: they delve deep into the landscape with wonder, humour and connection with community and sense of place.

Dana’s music remains firmly rooted in humanity, in the ways of nature, and in universal truths. His performances embody a vitality and excitement, which serves to reconnect the audience with the mundane and beautiful things that nourish
and bring us joy.

For over 30 years, Dana has been a fixture on the folk and acoustic music scene in the United States and the UK, playing his unique blend of songwriting with traditional influences. Dana’s guitar playing combines British fingerstyle and Appalachian flat picking to create his own distinctive sound.

Dana’s latest album, The Sound of the Word, is his 14th full-length studio release and the culmination of six years of creative exploration. This record blends contemporary songwriting with southern old-time influences, resulting in a body of work that is at once expansive and intimate. Inspired by bands like The Horse Flies, Wilco, and Shooglenifty, Dana’s new material tackles the pressing issues of our era while always circling back to the solace and inspiration found in the natural world.
