Ben Robinson, 22-year-old singer/songwriter and accomplished guitarist will appear Aug. 14 at the Blues Train Cafe at 312 South Hamilton Street in Dalton.

Ben Robinson has been booked on such shows as “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “Donny and Marie” and “Martin Short Live,” and he even pulled a stint with superdrummer Tony Royster, Jr. in the Nickelodeon band produced by Paul Shafer. 

Of Ben’s performance on the Letterman show Paul stated privately, “Of all the guests that have ever sat in with the band, no one has ever done it like Ben.”

Commenting on a recent performance, Legendary guitarist Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame had this to say about Ben: “I have seen a lot of smokin’ hot blues guitar players in my day, but I ain’t never heard anyone like Ben. I’ve had the honor to work with the worlds greatest guitar players and Ben Robinson is on that list.”

Drawing from such diverse influences as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tony Suraci, Jeff Buckley, Chris Cornell, Gavin DeGraw, John Mayer, Maroon 5, and “the ’80s as a whole,” Robinson creates a whole-package spectacle that features expert showmanship, professional technique, and down-to-earth songwriting that has garnered accolades from every crowd he’s played for. Backed by Vincent Abelende on drums and backing vocals, Hunter Robinson on bass, and keyboardist/rhythm guitarist Robert Willis, Robinson delivers emotive originals with the feeling you’d expect from someone three times his age.
