Robyn Ludwick House Concert

Roots Hoot House Concerts is pleased to present the acclaimed Texas-based singer and songwriter Robyn Ludwick on Friday, April 24. It will be her first Rhode Island appearance and we're honored to host her debut in these parts. Robyn did two things that will forever imprint her career: She chose not to use her illustrious maiden name, Robison, and she waited until she was good and ready to seriously pursue music. You may be familiar with the Robison name thanks to the music of her brothers Bruce and Charlie Robison. (Yeah, that Robison clan!) Growing up in Bandera, Texas with her two brothers and sister, some of Robyn's earliest memories were those falling asleep across folding chairs in Texas dancehalls where her grandparents danced to live music every weekend. Or running barefoot through Bandera's Purple Cow, where her mother tended bar as "Whiskey River" and "Rolling with the Flow" played for the millionth time on the jukebox. "Where I come from, music was always theremy father told me that they set up my crib at Floore's Country Store so that they could see Willie Nelson play." Teaching herself to play the guitar at age 15, Robyn's influences were far beyond her years (Jackson Browne, Van Morrison, Emmylou Harris) listening to albums already 20 years old. As a teenager, she was slipping off to Austin, Texas every weekend to hear music. The songwriting bug didn't bite Robyn until she was 30. She dove headfirst into her craft, taking on a music career that she feared would be overshadowed by the wealth of family talent that came before her (older brothers Charlie and Bruce and in-laws Kelly Willis and Dixie Chick Emily Robison). But in time, Robyn's songwriting soon came to the forefront, with cuts appearing on brother's Charlie and Bruce as well as sister-in-law Kelly Willis 2013 and 2014 releases, earning her the "most formidable writers of the Robison's" stamp by Lone Star Music Magazine. Crowned the "Queen of Modern Texas Country Soul" by No Depression, she has four albums to her credit with the latest being 2014's Little Rain produced by the esteemed Gurf Morlix. Come on out to Peace Dale, RI and give Robyn a big Rhode Island welcome. Note that being a Friday event, it will be a BYOB-only show. Doors will open at 7 pm and music starts at 7:30 pm
