He is a classically-trained singer and for the last 30 years has performed with orchestras and chorales in concert halls across North America - notably Carnegie Hall (Mozart Requiem) and Davies Symphony Hall (Britten's War Requiem).

A magical, eclectic menu of original music in styles of funky folk, to bluesy-jazz, and a touch of Americana by local award winning singer/songwriter Sherri Robbins and her band.
Sherri is a native Marylander, of Scots-Irish and Cherokee ancestry. Woven through her material is the sweet Appalachian roots of her grandparent’s people, to the savory blend of jazz, blues and gospel that have inspired her along the way. She has been involved in, or creating her own music for over 30 years.
