Artist Information

Biography

Winner of the 2008 Orange County Music Awards Best Live Female performer. Robin has been playing music since she was a toddler. Starting out as drummer, she worked her way to the front of the band, exactly where she belongs, playing guitar and singing her brains out. Her voice is unique, almost haunting at times and her lyrics are both thought provoking and insightful.
She grew up in NY, moved to MA. in 1992 where she got into a few bands as a drummer. She started playing guitar and writing music about 7 years ago and has been very well received throughout NY, New England, TN., AZ., IL, TX, and California. Nominated for the Best Folk Artist in 2004, she continued to grab a nomination each year from the Orange County, Southern California, Inland Empire and Hollywood Music Awards. From Best Folk to Best Female Artist to Best Live Performer, She's been nominated for them all and this year took home the award for Best Live Performer. In 2006 she was September's Indie Artist of the month in Los Angeles. Her song, Dear Diary, had an honorable mention twice for VH 1's Song of the year award and her CD of the same name was nominated by All Access Magazine as Best CD of the Year.
Robin has written for herself as well as for ERA productions in LA and a band or 2 in MA. Her style is as unique as her voice and her lyrics tell a story all can relate to.
She can now be seen in and around LA and Orange County, CA.,Phoenix, Az., TN. TX., IL, and up and down the east coast playing solo as well as with a band. She has recently been seen in Dallas, Texas opening for Evan Dando of the Lemonheads and in Phoenix, AZ. opening up for Ani Difranco . She has just released her newest CD, FICKLE GIRL, which was recorded at True Tones Studio in Nashville, TN. and promises to shoot this artist to the top. Right where she belongs!

  Robin Lore is a solo singer/songwriter who currently resides in Southern California. Robin grew up in NY but it was not until she moved to Massachusetts that she developed her style of music. Robin has one of the most unique & engaging voices out there. We were blown away at her range after listening to her track, “I Don’t Know Why.” After hearing this track it is quite obvious that Robin is the real deal. The hook and song structure is perfect. In 2008 Robin was the winner of the 2008 Orange County Music Awards Best Live Female performer. We have yet to see Robin live but we can just picture being in a crowded venue drinking beer or espresso and listening to her sing. Her new CD, ‘Fickle Girl’ is out now. You should also check out the lead single “Fickle Girl.” It is a live record and just like Robin, you can enjoy her music anywhere. After turning her off, you can still hear her contagious voice in your head. That is a good thing!

Robin's voice is good and strong, really very lovely and textured, like Melissa Etheridge, fellow Bostonian Shawn Colvin, and maybe even early, early Stevie Nicks (but not as fragile.)
  I just wish the melody line allowed her to do more with this unusual voice.
  Overall, I think this is nice work, good acoustic sounds for the café listener. I think this singer has more in her, so turn her up in the mix and change up that melody line!

  "What I Like is their natural, effortless manner of presenting folksy/acoustic music into a modern/alt rock essence twisted with warmth. The songs come through with intelligence, introspection, and a slight edge. My favorites... "the catchy, rythmic, 'Sleepwalking'. "

  The guitar pulls you in from the beginning. The longer you listen, the
  longer you want to listen. The lead singer's voice is somewhat hypnotic,
  she pulls you into their world quite effectively.
  The song has a steady beat that belongs on any top forty station. I
  enjoyed tapping my fingers to the sound and that didn't go away after
  five listens. I then turned my attention to the lyrics themselves and
  this is what I found. The lyrics are thought provoking and draw you in.
  The chorus had me singing along!
  Now, I'm not a musician so I can't tell you the level of the music
  itself, but from the listener's point of view, I wasn't disappointed!
  Overall, what I found was a professional band on the verge of making a
  major push into the arena of pop music. As we all know getting there is
  hard enough but staying there is tougher....this
  could hit on any Top 40 radio station's playlist!

  I caught the amazing Robin Lore at of one of southern states shows. What a voice she has and what a remarkable person she is! This girl is a star and her name will be known nationally. Watch out for the rising reputation of Robin Lore.
  

Setlist

Typical set list is most of the songs off of my new CD. A few songs off of Dear Diary, at least 1 new song (if not more) that hasn't been recorded nor heard yet and possibly my own rendition of an 80's cover tune or random rap song that should never be done acoustically, yet somehow is amazing! My sets range from 20 min. to 3 and 1/2 hours with mostly, if not all original music.
