Brandy Robinson creates a style that is all her own with poetic lyrics, irresistible melodies, funky guitar riffs, and soulful scats. Her solo and full band shows bring a fresh sound and energetic vibe to the stage.
"Brandy Robinson is a breath of fresh air. Her music is as adventurous as her travel itinerary. Her music is all that and more with her self-described "Funky-Folk Fusion". Robinson is a definitly a talent to watch." says Steve Morris music writer of the Boston Globe, Boston, MA.
Fusing her acoustic sound with flourishes of funk, rock, jazz and soul, she draws intricate portraits of people, places and emotions in her songs. Interweaving them with a tapestry of acoustic guitar and her lilting, breathy vocals she turns each song into sonic poetry.
Coming from a background in the mountains of Tennessee and than moving to Hawaii at the age of 19, Brandy learned about social culture through experience. Owning the first hemp shop in Waikiki, Brandy began meeting pro surfers from around the area that inspired her to live the life she desired. Already accomplished on the guitar Brandy began writing about everyday life in her beautiful surroundings. Waking up every morning to surf and ending everday with a song around the campfire is what inspried Brandy to move back to the mainland to persue a career in music!
"As she picks through intricate patterns on her guitar, Robinson's voice purrs across lyrics that ponder the highs and woes of life in America. In conversation or on stage, Robinson's outspoken confidence and sense of social consciousness are evident." says Leslie Wylie of the Metro Pulse, Knoxville, TN.
Challenging the typical mold of a female singer/songwriter, she tours across the U.S. paving a path that is all her own and doing it without the help of major backers. Brandy owns and operates her own record label, GuitarMama Records and to date has released two full length albums, "Gypsy Queen" and "Beautiful Graffiti", with her third album "The Wine Sessions" planned for release early 2008.
