About Me

South China is husband and wife duo Jeremy and Jerusha Robinson. The Robinsons began writing songs together in the summer of 2002, releasing a self-titled ep the following summer. While living on Washington Avenue in Portland during 2003-2004, they wrote constantly, and also began collaborations with their former band mate and friend David Lamb, forming the first trio version of Brown Bird. Over the following 6 years South China chipped away at their catalog, writing, re-writing, ditching, digging up, gestating. They moved six times. They landed in Biddeford and rented out a music studio, separate from their living space, for the first time, on Washington Street. When coming up with a name for the album which they will record in July 2009 with Ron Harrity at Peapod Recordings, the one that stuck was "Washingtons".
