About Me


Hello and Welcome!
I'm a singer/songwriter in San Francisco, CA. I perform in and around the city regularly, and I have enjoyed playing at venues such as the Freight and Salvage, Bazaar Cafe, the Makeout Room, and many others. To add to the fun, I also host an open mic at Bazaar Cafe every Thursday night.
I recently teamed up musically with Eric Pedersen, an amazing guitar player with a great voice, who also happens to be my significant other. We are *loving* this arrangement and know we have a ton to look forward to.
I mix and produce everything at home and I'm having a blast learning new skills as I go and laying down new tracks when the mood hits. We are working on a full-length CD - but in the meantime, my songs are available for purchase individually on this site, and as a demo CD.
You can buy it online here:
Drop a line if you get a chance, and thanks for listening!
Take care,
Robin

Open Mics and Roadtrips

As most of you know, I run an open mic here in the city, at Bazaar Cafe. I've been running it for over two years now (where does the time go??) and it's been a wonderful experience. People ask if I ge...

Time off, and The Beatles...

So I have the week off. I left my corporate job in favor of contracting and working for myself. It was hard to leave, but I knew it was the right decision. I like working for individuals and small bu...

An Orphan Found a Home!

Actually, a few of them did. A close friend and I had a conversation and BAM, inspired. Ran home, and turns out I had lyrics written (a few "orphans" scattered about) that fit perfectly into the theme...

A songwriter with a large orphanage.

"It's a Hard Knock Life, For Us..." I have hundreds - maybe thousands - of lyrical orphans. Lately, I've been focusing on music I've already written - which is a change from my ADD way of bouncing fr...

The Freight was Great, and more news...

Well, Friday at the Freight and Salvage was the best night I've ever had. I was nervous all day (ok, all week), after all, we're opening for my favorite band (no pressure, none at all), and it would b...

Big changes, big shows and more...

So many changes! When I played strictly solo, I would write a song, perform it, write another song, perform it, and keep moving ahead. It was exhilerating to have so much new material flowing through...
