Greetings from Robyn (Hitchcock that is!)


 Hello from Big Pink! I’m up here in the snow a mere 59 years after The Band and Bob Dylan rehearsed and recorded in this very building, retreating from the accelerating world outside. This joint hibernation spawned ‘Music From Big Pink’, ‘the Basement Tapes’ and Dylan’s ‘John Wesley Harding’ - and this house just outside Woodstock, NY is where these masterpieces originated. Along with Emma Swift  and Luther Russell I’ve just played an all-Dylan show Bearsville Theater - thanks to everyone who came along to witness us re-enacting some of these gems. Thanks also to Folk Yeah for promoting the show. Hoping to return to Woodstock soon, playing some new compositions of my own, when the trees are back in leaf. 🍃
