Joe Robinson Brings the Blues to PACA

Sunday, Dec. 4

The people have spoken. (Or at least, the event organizers at PACA have.) Australian musician Joe Robinson will play a special performance for one night only. The blues performer takes the PACA stage on Dec. 4 for a "night of musical magic" with local artists Mckenzie Lee Sprague, Eric Brewer, and Claire Stuczynski. Tickets start at $15 for general admission, but couples can purchase a special Sponsor package for $100, which includes reserved seating and complimentary wine. All others can BYOB with proper ID.

Robinson plays a blend of rock, jazz, blues, and R&B; expect plenty of funky, neat guitar sounds at this gig, in addition to his skilled harmonica playing. His sound is smooth and comparisons to John Mayer are not unfounded; check the acoustic version of "Hurricane" via Robinson's Facebook page to see the similarity. "Fireflies" is another great track for those unfamiliar with his work; it's light, soothing, but has just a teeny bit of bite to keep listeners hooked. – Miriam Lamey
