Ric Robertson is an American original, pulling influences from the greats that came before, but wholly responsible for building his own creative universe. His lyrics illuminate the fragility of our inner lives and the small moments packed with meaning that surround us , fueling a gonzo vision of Americana that is equally as innovative as it is simply beautiful to hear. It’s a riot of juxtapositions and a chaos of imagination anchored by Robertson’s soft, flowing voice, and his uncanny knack for chronicling his own growth and struggle with a heartfelt and often humorous grace . He has performed and recorded with a wide range of notable artists including Lucius, Sierra Ferrell, The Wood Brothers, Sarah Jarosz, Logan Ledger, and Donna the Buffalo, to name a few. Listening to his latest album “Choices and Chains”, it's clear that Robertson—one of the best kept secrets in today’s songwriters- is an artist worth paying attention to. It beautifully chronicles a journey he was on and continues to submit himself to, stories ripped from the guts and the sleepless nights and the flickering but enduring flames of a true artist's compulsion. You'll know it when you hear it. And you'll recognize yourself in it.
