Bio: Singing songs of his own making, and accompanying them with instruments such as the West African kora, guitar, drums, and percussion, Robby Rothschild draws from the dual wells of tradition and personal expression. Known for his work with his brother, Char, in the duo Round Mountain, as well as his recent international tours as percussionist for Kip Winger and Ottmar Liebert, Robby’s solo work represents a furthering of his search into musical wilderness, and a deepening of rawness and vulnerability such as true wilderness and a path of loss brings to all of us. Music has called him in many directions, including to Mali, West Africa, whose music infused and possessed him, and to the University of New Mexico, where he earned a master’s in composition. His pursuit of the sound emerging in his ears continues to guide him today. Event description: On Saturday, November 21, Santa Fe musician Robby Rothschild will perform songs from his new release Stand Up and Walk, which will be available for sale for the first time that evening. Rothschild is known for his work with his brother Char in the band Round Mountain, as well as for his work as a percussionist with acts such as Ottmar Liebert and Kip Winger. This music is a quirky, organic stew of musical traditions (West African, songwriter) inside an emotional roux of gratitude, paradox, irony, and forgiveness. Stand Up and Walk honors the gifts Rothschild has received from the first fifty years of his life, and stands as an offering to the wider community to mark the anniversary. Performing with Rothschild will be bassist Jon Gagan, percussionist Paul Groetzinger, and keyboardist Kevin Zoernig, with guest appearances from Char Rothschild, Ben Wright, and others.
