Dana Robinson Concert at Cafe #9

From Vermont (USA), Dana Robinson is a songwriter, guitarist and old-time fiddler.

Dana Robinson has spent the better part of four decades writing songs shaped by the American landscape — from the open highways he hitchhiked across the West as a young man to the Vermont hills he's called home since the late '80s. His songwriting blends contemporary folk and country blues with a sensibility all his own, and it's carried him from Carnegie Hall to Ken Burns documentaries to thousands of shows across the U.S. and UK.

Dana’s songwriting expresses a reverence for nature and the landscape, telling stories that delve deep into rural life with wonder, humour and connection with community. Dana’s lyrics capture places in time with uncanny detail to reflect truths and connection with the forces that shape our lives. He doesn’t just sing about places; he gets beneath the surface, translating the quiet grit and breathtaking beauty of wherever he travels into melody and verse. 

Dana’s new recording, The Sound of the Word, was released in the spring 2026 to rave reviews. Dana will be touring in the UK this November to celebrate.
