The Mass Hospital gig was amazing. It is a highschool for teens with severe disabilities.
It was so rewarding to see kids singing clapping and playing rhythm instruments
to the blues. We rocked the house! The fundraiser for Raising the Blues is March
6 in Arlington. Check out their website at http://www.raisingtheblues.org.
Tomorrow, (Thurs
More February Gigs & News
Just wanted to update you on a few last minute February gigs. Today's
concert for the Mass Hospital School has been moved to March 3. This
is in conjunction with raisingtheblues.org, a wonderful organization
helping disabled children. They are having a fundraiser on March 6
with some wonderful musicians--check http://www.raisingtheblues.org
for details.
Tomorrow, (Thursday), I will be joining Darlene White from the BSO
Educational Dept. for a fun, interactive music and storytelling workshop
at Knesset Israel.Heroes For Haiti is an all-day event at the Washington
Ave. Armory in Albany. The doors open at noon and I will be playing
upstairs between 2 and 2:30. It sounds like a wonderful event. The
afternoon will begin with an interfaith service, then community expo
on the main floor with exhibit and vending tables of local not-for-profits,
women and minority-owned businesses, social justice organizations,
social service agencies, faith institutions, and others. There will
also be workshops taking place in three
rooms on the upper floors during the afternoon and musical performances
on the main stage. There is also a big concert planned for that evening.
I will also be in Upton at the Rose Room Revue later this month--haven't
been there in a couple of years, for you Eastern MA fans.
I've been working on some new marketing strategies and some new performance
video snippets. I have a new video intro up here: http://www.talentwatch.net/artist/profile?id=NDI5.
If you are up for it, you can register as a fan and rate my videos....
More to come soon. Stay warm.
New York City was awesome. It is a very cool club. The owner was a little grumpy at first, but after he heard us play (Marshall Messer joined me on harmonica), he said he wanted us to come back--maybe a Saturday night, and that we were Excellent! How cool is that? And I'm going back March 20. 2010!

I have been soo busy, I haven't updated the news page in quite a while. It's been a great year musically. I have played in the Black Potatoe Festival, The Plymouth Blues and Folk Festival and most recently the Taunton Blues Festival. I have had Everhopeful and The Road to Prague licenses to PBS and have been commissioned to write a song for film. I have doubled the amount of gigs I play, and hope to triple that this year. I have new videos on youtube.com (just do a search for Robin O'Herin) and tons of new material. I'll try to update this page more often. Thanks for listening!

incredible. I got an encore. 5-23-05 Listen for the Get Yo Praise On! Gospel Hour every
Sunday from 10:00 am to 11:00 am. Hosted by JoAnne
Redding and Robin O'Herin Recent quotes about performances: Being part of the Tsunami Benefit on March 4,
05 was a wonderful experience. Opening for Vance Gilbert on 10-24-04 was a wonderful experience. Besides being a great musician and wonderful performer, he is such a nice guy! It was sold out, and the audience laughed at all my jokes! It was great fun opening for the Doobie Brothers on 7-19-04. I played a half hour set and got an excellent response from the 1200 fans in the audience! Red, White and Blues has been reviewed at http://www.netrhythms.co.uk Read Keith Hannaleck’s Review of The Road Home here. You can also view it on his webpage here. http://www.Creatorsweb.com has done an interview and review
of my music. Read it here: http://www.creatorsweb.com/robinoherin.htm Both Red, White and Blues and The Road Home have been reviewed in Blues in Britain Magazine. Here is a sample: Blind Willie Johnson was one of O’Herin’s major influences, so we are treated to three songs associated with the master; the intoxicating intimacy of her vocals meshing seamlessly with her slide on a haunting Keep Your Lamp Trimmed And Burning and God Don’t Never Change, and adding plaintiveness laced with grit on Nobody’s Fault But Mine, and Mississippi John Hurt’s Glory, Glory.

Here are quotes about The Road Home: I just wanted to send along a note of congratulations for finishing your new CD, it's great!! I feel your music is very special because not only is it sweet to listen too, but I also feel that you are a historian preserving and passing along some very rich music from the past which brings out the spiritual roots of the blues and some popular music as well.
