 Audience Comments

“I wanted to tell you again how marvelous your performance was tonight. The way you phrase your vocals over a folk rhythm is a beautiful touch. I loved your stuff and the one your Florida friend wrote. Can’t wait to hear you again. Put me on your list.”

         “Mary and I thoroughly enjoyed your concert Saturday night. It was a lot of fun, and we loved your performance. Thank you.”

“Emmet Robinson’s rich baritone voice is soothing and captivating. His stories transport me to places I want to visit. He provides a window through which we can view powerful and magical times in the world of music. Emmet’s reverence for meaningful and well-crafted songs makes him a library of sorts, a place to be introduced to writers past and present, whose songs will touch your heart. His guitar playing is strong and skillful. Emmet also brings a welcome touch of mischief. The twinkle in his eye is a cue that his sense of humor is never far away. I look forward to the next time…”

“It [the show] was a lot of fun and Emmet is so talented, we enjoyed the whole evening, and especially Emmet. I hope Emmet had a great time; nice size crowd, too. What a lovely place and lovely people. Wonderful change of pace.”

“What an evening! Emmet Robinson is musically wonderful, offering an upbeat and thoughtful blend of meaningful folk songs and familiar favorites.  The coffeehouse concert he gave was great, laced with humor, sparkle and personality. You just want the evening to keep going! Hope to see him playing many times again.”

 “Emmet Robinson  has a unique thoughtful and personal style. Nobody like him ever.”

 “You’re the best, Emmet, and you bring so much light to your work – performing – you just open up your heart and the love flows.”

  “When you play guitar and sing, there is never any fluff, no unnecessary sounds or showmanship, just pure artistry. Your voice is strong and resonant, your guitar struck with just the right touch, and your sense of timing is always perfect…and it all comes together to make a pleasing and lasting impact.”

“I expected a good voice and professional rendition. What I didn’t expect was a voice with so much depth and warmth and feeling. You are a true artist!”

“I loved the show, and my father is still talking about it. Our favorite songs were the ones that were familiar to us – Back in the Saddle Again, You Are My Sunshine, Yesterday, This Land is Your Land. Dad also liked the Shel Silverstein song (Beans Taste Fine) and some of the story telling that preceded the songs… Thank you again for the show. It was a big hit. “

     “That was so much fun…you sounded great! We were transported back to the good ole days!”

“Cut from the same cloth as the countless performers he has seen, he dips into their material and plays the best. Years of association with folk artists make him a good judge. He has a fine guitar-playing style that would be the envy of many in the profession. He played songs by many, but not enough by Emmet Robinson.”

“It [the show] was indeed terrific! I loved every minute of it. I just don’t know how you do it…you go along with not just songs, but stories and jokes, and you never miss a beat. Thanks for a wonderful evening!”

“I sure enjoyed your style and music selections!”

  “You have a wonderful voice – I enjoyed the show!”

   “Listening to you is pure fun. I would come back to your show anytime. I have seen you twice, and thinking of your performance always brings a smile to my face.”

        “You always do a thorough and thoughtful job of arranging your programs, and this time was no exception. And of course, combined with your rich voice and accomplished guitar playing, it makes for a delightful evening of good music and fun. Whenever I hear you, I’m always left with the feeling that it was not enough…it should have been longer.”
