“Into the Night has all the vibes I love about folk music — well-crafted songs written from the heart and played with the hands, harmonies that lift the spirit — but it also features a sophistication of arrangement and production.” -Ani DiFranco
American songwriters Liam Robinson (banjo, accordion, vocals) and Jean Rohe (guitar, vocals) were brought together over fifteen years ago by their mutual love of afternoon song-swaps, American folk ballads, and wordplay. Since then, they’ve written a distinctive body of original repertoire that draws on the roots music they hold dear, and engages their versatile musical and literary sensibilities as arrangers, improvisers, poets, and producers. Robinson & Rohe deliver a powerful live show replete with effortless harmony singing, soulful grooves, playful humor, and razor-sharp lyrics.
Both accomplished artists in their own right, Liam is music director/vocal arranger of the Tony Award-sweeping musical Hadestown on Broadway. Jean’s songwriting has recently won awards from the Kerrville Folk Festival and Brooklyn Arts Council among many others.
With the release of a cinematic collection of new songs, Into the Night, on Righteous Babe Records, the duo brings us “a portrait of togetherness and honest, defiant joy in a messy world,” (Anaïs Mitchell).
