St. Tim's Coffeehouse and WFMT are getting ready for another great season

SAM ROBBINS is often described as an "old soul singer-songwriter". A New England based, nationally touring musician whose music evokes classic singer-songwriters like James Taylor and Jackson Browne, Sam adds a modern. updated edge to the storyteller troubadour personna. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from extensive national touring, sharing the stage with artists like Jason Mraz and David Wilcox. He has been a main stage performer at festivals like Kerrville (TX), Falcon Ridge (CT) to Wheatland (MI) folk festivals.

Touring with the new acclaimed album, "So Much I Still Don't See", named one of Atwood Magazine's 2025 "Artists to Watch", leading songwriting workshops and exciting performances across the country, Sam Robbins has gained a repoutation as one of the brightest rising stars in the national folk music community!

Sam's third album, "So Much I Still Don't See", is a testament to a singer-songwriter's journey through his 20's, through his formative 45,000 miles annually of touring, and the beginning of a troubadour's career. Mostly of all, it is a culmination of firsthand experiences gathered through hard travel and big adventures.

For the listener, these big adventures are heard through a soft, introspective soundscape. Produced by fellow singer-songwriter Seth Glier, the album is built sparingly around solo acoustic guitar and vocals, tracked live, just as they were performed on stage. Recorded in an old church in Springfield (MA), the sounds of "So Much I Still Don't See", center around the humility that comes with traveling and experiencing a world much larger than yourself - looking inward and reveling in the quiet of the inner mind while facing an expansive landscape of life on the road. The storytelling in the songs is draped with touches of upright bass, keyboards, organ, and electric guitar but the core of the album is one man and his worn out Martin guitar, bought new just a few weeks after moving to Nashville.

The sonic landscape of "So Much I Still Don't See", was largely inspired by the recordings of James Taylor, Jim Croce, Harry Chapin and other like singer-songwriters. Growing up in New Hampshire, Sam would frequently drive up to the white mountains for weekend hiking trips with his father, accompanied in the old truck by a 70's singer-songwriter CD box set. This music seeped into Sam's soul coupled with the experiences of the mountain landscape of his childhood shaped this "old soul singer-songwriter" voice.

Following a brief stint on NBC's The Voice in 2018, Sam graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2019 and quickly made his move to Nashville. After a tumultuous five years in Music City, "So Much I Still Don't See" is the first recording after moving back to the Boston area in early 2024. After trying his hand at co-writing country songs five days a week, Sam found his way to a home on the road, now performing over 200 shows a year to listening rooms and festivals across the country.

Growing prowess on acoustic guitar through years of touring has earned Sam a large fanbase of fingerstyle guitar afficienados."So Much I Still Don't See" is his first album to include an original instrumental track, "Rosie" named after his wife's middle name, The song, a transitional moment midway through the album was written in a painter's style - following a melodic line through to its end, and changing chord colors around the line as it flows. This foray, into instrumental writing comes as Sam is increasingly being recognized as a strong voice in US fingerstyle guitar playing, not just as an accompanist to his vocal.

The final moment of "So Much I Still Don't See" is a quiet, serene moment with Halley Neal, nationally touring singer-songwriter and Robbins' wife. The two have led separate careers after meeting at Berklee College of Music, coming together when the moment was right (June 2025). As the 10th and final track, the soft, one-take, one-mic cover of The Beatles "I Will" was recorded on the last day of recording on a cheap nylon sing guitar found in the corner of the studio. The short, sweet love song is a simple finish on the introspective and warm album.
