Learn About Richie

Bio & History
A dynamic performer, and arguably the most prolific guitar performer in the history of South Australia, Richie Robinson's passion lies somewhere between funk, jazz, rock, and the blues.
Sometimes you'll hear every flavour at once - other times, you'll hear a well-travelled master of jazz and blues guitar.
Richie will change your expectations of the instrument with the ability to improvise and innovate as a free thinker, and the heart and soul to keep it real.
