Saint Robinson is an alt country/Americana based in The Netherlands. Originally started as a studio project Saint Robinson recorded their debut-CD ‘Spiritual Freeway’ in 2006. In the years after this the band toured the club-circuit in order to promote the CD, meanwhile adding new songs to the repertoire.
In the fall of 2009 after some personnel changes they decided to turn things down a notch and get back to the essence of the songs and especially the stories behind the songs. This step resulted in a quieter, yet more intense approach of the material. After adding a new rhythm section and a violin player Saint Robinson went on full force playing festivals and clubs. Their latest studio album, entitled 'Warstories of the Oregon trail' was released May 2015. Lyrically the songs can be characterized as moving, recognizable and mostly true stories about travelling, inner journeys and soul searching.
New line-up since 2019 with heavy accents on harmony vocals. Perfect for small theatres or intimate festival settings.
