About

Butch Robins is a complicated man – an artist, a musician, a thinker and a storyteller. He’s a banjo player with few peers, and a chronicler of the music of Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass Music.

Robins is a teacher, a composer, a writer and a fearless musical innovator. He spent years playing banjo with Bill Monroe, and writes, records and produces music that ranges from folk-inspired tunes to far more complex melodic pieces.

He is an individualist, a self-styled philosopher and a life-long student of music and art. He is a seeker and a teller of tale tales.

Butch is also something of a controversialist – a badge he wears with pride – and is nothing if not a truth-teller. In his music, his prose or his conversation, you will always hear precisely what he believes to be true.

Without fail.
