Bio (short)
The Robin Davis Duo is the sound of decades of music and life lived side by side. As husband and wife, Robin Davis brings rich melodies to life on the fiddle, while Jimi lays down a rhythmic foundation with her clawhammer banjo. Their performances weave together heartfelt original songs and timeless tunes from the bluegrass and old-time canon, all delivered with soul, harmony, and an unmistakable sense of place.
Bio (long)
On their second studio album, Starin’ at the Mountain, The Robin Davis Duo offers a fresh and intimate perspective rooted deep in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado. In a striking role reversal, Robin Davis sets aside his signature guitar work in favor of the fiddle, while Jimi trades upright bass for the earthy tones of clawhammer banjo. The result is a stripped-down, homespun sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
Robin's flat-picking prowess extends to his work in reverse-supergroup Broke Mountain Bluegrass Band, where he plays mandolin alongside Anders Beck of Greensky Bluegrass, Travis Book of The Infamous Stringdusters, Jon Stickley of Jon Stickley Trio, and Andy Thorn of Leftover Salmon. Broke Mountain re-released their album Cabin in the Hills through Americana Vibes in 2023.
The duo's first, self-titled album released in 2015 showcasing Robin on guitar and Jimi on upright bass. In 2022, the duo released their second album under the name Dreem Machine, a psychedelic grunge-grass trio alongside drummer Matt Cottle.
