| Ithaca-based
musician and performer, Robin Burnett has delighted audiences for
25 years with her powerful vocals, magnetic personality, and rhythmic
guitar. Robin is known for her compelling interpretations of popular
rock and country tunes, as well as her creative arrangements of older
blues and folk pieces. Her genre-crossing style is showcased in her
new CD “My Greatest Wish” which is a compilation of favorites
that Robin performs with a special cast of musicians from the Finger
Lakes region of New York. Through the selections in this collection,
Robin’s vocal versatility is unveiled for all to hear. From
the beautifully sung “Testify To Love,” to the roaring
vocals of “Never Been To Spain,” to the awe-inspiring,
a capella performance of the traditional spiritual “Amazing
Grace,” we hear songs that are sung from the soul by a performer
with true passion and talent. We even hear an arrangement of Eric Burden’s
“House of the Rising Sun” in which Robin creates a uniquely
haunting and mysterious atmosphere for us to savor.
Currently, Robin performs in the Finger Lakes region of New York,
both solo (with her 12 string guitar), and accompanied by local musicians
including Karen Olsen (bass guitar), Bob Huckle (harmonica), Lori
Barrett (rhythm guitar), Jessie McClain (drums), Lisa Bloom (keyboards), and Pat Shaup (violin).
“I agree with Dolly Parton...
what could be more fun than dancin’ and singin’
and havin’ a party!”
