Justin Robinson

**Justin Robinson** is a multi-instrumentalist and folk artist deeply rooted in traditional Appalachian and African-American string band music. Best known as a founding member of the Grammy-winning group Carolina Chocolate Drops, Robinson’s work revives historic sounds with fiddle, banjo, and jaw harp, blending old-time authenticity with his own creative flair. After departing the band in 2011, he continued carving his path as a solo artist, releasing raw, storytelling-driven tracks like *John Henry* and *Brown’s Dream* that honor folk traditions while feeling freshly personal. His recent releases, including *What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow* and *Hook and Line*, showcase his knack for reimagining regional folklore and crafting foot-stomping instrumentals that feel both timeless and immediate. Whether he’s riffing on a centuries-old ballad or spinning new tales, Robinson’s music feels like a warm, dusty conversation with history.
