US Based Independent Music Awards Nominate UK Tractor Driver As Writer Of Best New Love Song 2012
Online, April 16, 2012 (Newswire.com) - 26 year old ROBINSON hails from Worcester, England where he drives a tractor at a local nursery. However, every other living moment he has spare is devoted to crafting incredibly infectious songs, and polishing his performance amongst the fields of flowers.
January 2012 he has been nominated by the International Independent Music Awards with the Love Song WHEREVER YOU ARE and this follows quickly on the heels of his next single - the Hemingway tribute YOU'LL NEVER BE HER......
A recording where flicks of perspiration fly and the seething emotion heads to its climax while the Bordello sways in erotic unison. Reminiscent of something from a Hemingway novel, YOU'LL NEVER BE HER screams a torrid love affair that is wrapped in passion and becomes a cocktail of tragedy.
Mixed by Ian Davenport (Radiohead) the song has long been the encore of Robinson's eclectic live set. Featured on the new album "BENEATH THE BALLROOM" from Palawan Productions released Worldwide Spring 2012. Available on iTunes:

Here you can find out a little more about the Robinson family tree:
Once upon a time there was a Lord Burgess who was a very wealthy and respected landowner at the turn of the last century. He had butlers, servants and most importantly maids to wait on him hand and foot.
This 'Lord' ended up having his wicked way with one of his maids, therefore leaving the mother no other choice but to abandon her bastard child and give him to the orphanage. This bastard of a baby was Robinson's great grandfather, who turned out to be a coal mining alcoholic.
Robinson insists that this family background has been a trigger for his creativity; however, his music is influenced by the likes of Dylan and Waits. Inspirations are endless and ongoing, from the readings of Charles Bukowski and other beatniks to the darker gothic sounds of Eastern Europe.
Whether it be guitar, piano, clarinet or sax, Robinson's melodies are pulled from many lovers. Where does the story go from here? Will Robinson echo the life of his great grandfather or is there something much better waiting around the corner?
