Details:
Robyn Landis is a gifted wordsmith and award-winning songwriter. Her deft, incisive, and powerful command of language has garnered repeated comparisons to Richard Shindell and Dar Williams, and a reputation among fellow songwriters as "an astounding lyricist."
Respected for her unflinching honesty, vulnerability and fierce intelligence, Robyn uses song to tackle subjects ranging from war to weather to (what else?) love--not to mention adoption and dementia, betrayal and longing, friendship, child abuse, old sitcoms, and the environment.
Since 2005 and the release of her first CD "Love and Other Words" (as half of the Americana duo Short & Sweet), Robyn has accrued more than 35 songwriting awards and honors nationally and internationally, in competitions and at festivals.
Her eagerly-awaited followup/solo recording Many Moons, released May 2009, has guest appearances by Michael Lille, Mark Graham, Kat Eggleston, Larry Murante, Joe and Karena Prater (Cat Loves Crow), and Hans York; and features Paul Elliott on fiddle and Cary Black on bass.
Co-writes include such notable songwriters as David Llewellyn (2007 Kerrville New Folk winner, 2008 John Lennon Grand Prize Winner) and Larry Murante (2009 Kerrville New Folk Finalist).
Robyn studied guitar with the venerable Linda Waterfall, who says "The warmth of her voice and her intuitive connection are magnetic....Her passionate commitment to justice and the Earth won my heart."
Robyn has been a poet since she was four, has been a professional writer for all her adult life, and published two popular health books in her 20s before turning her focus upon music.
https://www.tradebit.com says, "Smooth vocals, like an earthy Laurie Lewis...Landis has won a lot of songwriting awards, and it''s easy to see why...Her writing is like a good short story."
