Drawing from the styles of Robert Johnson, Fred McDowell and Elmore James, Robin has moulded his own intense and entertaining personal style. Robin’s performances often include stories and anecdotes regarding the history of the blues and the unique vintage instruments he performs with. He is a four time recipient of "Best Blues" at the San Diego Music Awards. Whitney Shay & Aaron Lind form a dynamic duo blending powerhouse blues, soul, and jazz influences with seasoned musicianship. Shay, an internationally touring vocalist, pairs her infectious energy with Lind’s masterful guitar work, shaped by decades of practice and performance across jazz, funk, and rock stages.
