Robin returns to the Kalamazoo Klub with special guest his wife, & long time musical partner, singer multi-instrumentalist Bina Williamson.

Founder in the 1960s of The Incredible String Band and of The Merry Band in the 1970s Robin has been a guiding force of the story telling revival in Britain and America since the 1980s.

A most prolific and diverse songwriter, Robin has made numerous records over his 50-year career, most recently for ECM and Quadrant as well as his own label, Pig’s Whisker Music.

Twice nominated for a Grammy, he is cited as an influence by Paul McCartney, Robert Plant and many new folk artists. His latest album on ECM, Trusting in the Rising Light, has been getting many Five-star reviews.

Also currently becoming known as a painter, Robin has worked for many years also as a duo with Bina.

Bina is an inspired and gifted singer and songwriter in her own right. She has a hauntingly sweet melodious voice and is a pristine player of the bowed psaltery, autoharp and dulcimer.

She is currently working on a solo album of her own distinctive arrangements of traditional songs, drawing on a wide variety of Celtic, English and Old Timey roots.

“Really beautiful singing.” Martin Carthy.

“Pure beauty through simplicity.” Robert Plant
