Event Description
Joe Robinson

This is a seated show and tickets are limited. While seating is not reserved, every ticket holder is guaranteed a seat.

Joe Robinson plays guitar like Ali boxed, like Einstein knew theoretical physics and like Hitchcock made movies.

If the chipper twenty-year-old from backwoods Temagog, New South Wales, Australia were two or three times his age, his sheer six-string ability and compositional insight, which have already earned Robinson a world-wide following, would be no less astonishing. That fact is underscored by his winning TV's Australia’s Got Talent in 2008, and the Australian National Songwriting Competition at the tender age of 13. But with his new album Let Me Introduce You, Robinson has made a daring quantum leap. The gifted young virtuoso has redefined himself as a budding pop-world visionary, deftly walking a tightrope between the instrumental music that's put him in the spotlight and a unique fusion of vocally based rock, blues, jazz, country and R&B that's entirely his own.

In 2008 Robinson went home at the invitation of the producers of Australia’s Got Talent, handily winning the competition. “That was a pretty unbelievable experience,” he says. “It was a lot of fun and a huge amount of people got to see me play, which allowed me to begin touring on my own as a headliner.”

Recently Robinson's been traveling the world with his own trio featuring a drummer and bassist headlining tours across Europe, Japan, North American and Australia, displaying his virtuosity on acoustic and electric guitar and honing many of the songs on stage that appear on Let Me Introduce You.
