It’s a beautiful day for a concert! Come see Sam Robbins at the Gazebo at 4:00. His performances at the Music Hall Lounge were sold out!

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, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from extensive national touring, from sharing the stage with artists like Jason Mraz and David Wilcox, and as a main stage performer at national festivals like the Kerrville, Falcon Ridge and Philadelphia Folk Festivals.

Touring with a 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 reputation as one of the brightest rising stars in the national folk music community.
