House Concerts in your living room or your deck. Summer and Fall 2010. Bring me to your home and friends.



I am setting up Summer and Fall performances where we can get together in your living room or back-yard with your friends in a casual setting, pot luck and margaritas, it will be great fun. I will read a chapter from my upcoming book “A Multitude of Sins”…(very spicy) and sing Robin Lane and The Chartbusters songs as well as many other songs I’ve written over the years. This will be a benefit for my new non-profit Songbird Sings - songwriting/recording programs for people with Ptsd’s, trauma survivors, domestic abuse…etc.

You can hold this concert at your home, an art center, a friend’s house, by the sea, near the lake any time of day or night. All musical souls are welcome to accompany me, so if you wish, bring your flutes, violins, and percussion, for an inspirational musical evening!

Email me if you are interested or need more information. robin@awomansvoice.net


Quotes

"Having Robin play with my friends at a House Concert we set up, changed their lives. They are playing in a band now and never stop talking about that special night" Allen Amaretto

"The house concert with Robin Lane was an exciting and uplifting alternative to clubbing, I not only was surrounded by my friends, but I got to hear my favorite songwriter, singer Robin Lane right in my living room and we even raised money for her programs." Suzanne Boucher

"I had always been a fan of Robin Lanes but had never seen her. She came up and did a House Concert on my deck in Vinyl Haven Maine. My friends brought food and we ate and listened to Robin read and play her wonderful songs. I loved the way we all got to play percussion on her songs." Dr. Rich Entel

"Being great fans of Robin Lane & The Chartbuststers and seeing that she did House Concerts, my friends and I decided to bring her out to Chicago. We met her at the airport showed her around the town and the next night around 40 of our friends came to our living room for a remarkable evening. We had her back 2 years later for music in the back yard. She let everyone who brought an instrument play with her. The night was magical." Nick Sanadinos, Jim Kopriva

Traprock Center for Peace and Justice CD release and celebration party last night. Good turn out. This is one more songwriting program that should be continuous. We need more songs about waging peace, putting an end to inequality, social justice for all, saving the planet, saving the children, saving the world, saving the elephants and other small things, saving ourselves. I remember a time when we felt that we were in this together and that we could make a difference and songs were sung to call attention to the important issues. Young people are very different today...there isn't that "we're in this together" spirit. I'm not being nostalgic only wondering if someone put complacency in the drinking water. I'm also thinking of Christina Aguilera's outfit and song/dance thing at the MTV movie awards. Just think of the difference between what Laura Nyro, Joni Mitchell put out in those days compared to how it's done now? There's nothing in it now except show...no depth? Not in what is popular and put on television or radio. I've heard some wonderful new music but it's more of an art form and of course it is not what gets on the MTV awards shows. Where are the songwriters and artists that have the messages of truth that we need to hang our hat on? It's not the style now not in the vapid landscape we've created for ourselves. Save ourselves please. "All I want is some truth"
