SAM ROBBINS

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. He has gained recognition from extensive national touring, from opening for artists like Jason Mraz and Liz Longley, and as a main stage performer at national festivals like the Kerrville, Falcon Ridge and Wheatland 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.
