Eastbourne Lamb Folk Club: Dana Robinson

Dana Robinson plays the Lamb Inn on Wednesday 4 November, hosted by the Eastbourne Lamb Folk Club. He's a singer-songwriter with a long road behind him, and this is a solo spot.

Robinson was born in Eugene, Oregon, in 1961 and grew up in the Bay Area of California, where he picked up the guitar at ten and started writing songs. He spent his sophomore year in London in 1977, taking in the punk scene and prog rock, and from 1979 to 1983 hitchhiked across the western United States before settling in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he cooked at The Iron Horse music club. He released his debut recording, Threshold Music, in 1986.

Between 1995 and 2020 he recorded a dozen albums with his wife Susan, who became his duo partner in 2002; together they played thousands of concerts and toured over a million miles, and their music has been featured in Ken Burns' documentaries. 2026 marks the release of his fourteenth album, The Sound of the Word.

The gig is upstairs at the Lamb Inn, High Street, Old Town, Eastbourne, BN21 1HH. Doors open at 7.30pm, music from 8pm, and it's £8 cash on the door.
