Saturday, Nov. 10 at 3 p.m.—SOUTH POMFRET—Nashville-based singer-songwriter Sam Robbins will bring his acclaimed “old soul” sound to the Hayloft at Artistree Community Arts Center, performing his unique blend of folk, Americana, and storytelling on Saturday, Nov. 10, at 3 p.m. Known for his intricate acoustic guitar work and smooth, evocative vocals, Robbins evokes the classic spirit of ’70s singer-songwriters like James Taylor and Neil Young while infusing a contemporary twist.
A Berklee College of Music graduate, Robbins has toured extensively, performing over 150 shows a year and captivating audiences with his engaging stage presence. His debut album, “Finally Feeling Young,” released in 2021, has drawn praise for its introspective lyrics and modern take on classic folk themes. Robbins has achieved numerous milestones in his career, including winning the Kerrville Folk Festival’s New Folk competition in 2021 and performing at the iconic Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. He’s a solo acoustic performer known for building a close connection with audiences, drawing listeners into his world with every song.
Robbins’ talent for storytelling has earned him accolades from fans and critics alike. His songs, including the award-winning “Remind Me” and “Saying Amen,” reflect a unique ability to explore personal and universal themes alike. Americana Highways praises his work, noting that “he writes of subjects others don’t explore.” At the same time, Fateau Magazine describes him as “one of the most promising new songwriters of his generation.” Robbins’ ability to create both intimacy and emotional depth during live performances has solidified his place in the folk music scene, making him a “Most Wanted to Return” artist at the 2023 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival.
