Biography

Robinella’s career began with a sort of luck that rarely comes to most artists within their lifetime. What started out as a simple husband-and-wife duo fresh out of college quickly grew to a full-fledged band that blended Bluegrass, Country and Jazz. The combination of Robinella's honey-sweet vocals with violin, mandolin, bass, drums and piano captivated audiences, thus creating the ever popular Robinella & the CC Stringband. 
 They released their first album, self-titled Robinella and The CC Stringband, in 2000, which quickly followed, No Saint, No Prize in 2001. Both were on the independent label Big Gulley Records. Columbia Records liked what they heard and signed Robinella in 2002. The band toured nationally, opening for such artists as Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Earl Scruggs, Nickel Creek, Robert Earl Keen, Del McCoury and Rodney Crowell as well as an appearance on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and a music video on CMT for their hit single, “Man Over”. They also performed on NPR’s “Mountain Stage,” the Grand Ole Opry and on PBS’s “SoundStage.” The band broke up in 2005 after life threw them some curveballs. 
 In 2006, Robinella was nominated for “Emerging Artist of the Year”… or such a voice — that dazzling, warm, bright-as-summer-sunshine soprano — to try and even describe it in words does it an injustice. From 2006-2022, Robinella spent much of her time raising her boys and now that they are mostly grown, she’s making a musical comeback.
