Resident in the USA, we are excited to have the multi-award-winning vocalist Christine Tobin and acclaimed guitarist Phil Robson at our Whitstable jazz club! The duo are currently touring their new show The Long Road – a rich, genre-crossing programme exploring journey, growth, and resilience, which has met with great critical acclaim around North America. This intimate and expressive set blends Tobin’s original compositions with reimagined works by Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Paul Simon, alongside stunning musical settings of poetry by WB Yeats and Paul Muldoon. Their signature sound features Tobin’s warm, soulful voice and Robson’s inventive guitar work, brought together with exhilarating improvisation and deeply personal arrangements.
Christine Tobin, celebrated for her distinctive artistry, has received a BBC Jazz Award, the Ivors Composer Award (formerly BASCA), and the Parliamentary Jazz Award for Vocalist of the Year. She has recorded 12 albums, performed globally, and worked with artists such as Kenny Wheeler, Nigel Kennedy, and Gabriel Byrne.
Phil Robson is an award-winning guitarist known for his collaborations with legends like David Liebman, Barbra Streisand, and Django Bates. He co-led the acclaimed UK band Partisans for over two decades and is a Whirlwind Recordings artist with global recognition.
Together, Tobin and Robson craft performances that are soulful, inventive, and emotionally resonant.
