Josh Robin’s stand out EP “Blessed with a Mess” is a powerful tribute to the storyteller’s craft. Hailing from the world of punk, Robins’ skills have been honed on the country’s roads and rails, often couch surfing, busking, and playing pub shows.
His single “All Kinds of Shoes” will leave you wanting more, as will the accompanying video, a humorous scene that brings his story of love and loss to life. Originally from a home with dangerous conditions, Robins has created a new life for himself, travelling the country in a renovated van to play at shows.
Having played alongside artists such as Will Varley and the lead singers from Inspiral Carpets and The Bluetones, the rising artist is becoming a regular at the Cambridge Folk Festival and is also a mainstay of the Cambridge and London folk scenes. “All Kinds of Shoes” will be available across all platforms on the 4th of August, and the full EP “Blessed with a Mess” can be expected on the 29th.
This EP, with its themes of love, loss and longing, is sure to make a splash in the music world. The combination of Robins’ captivating storytelling and subtle use of musical instruments gives the EP an authenticity that is sure to draw fans both old and new. Those looking for a unique take on the classic folk genre should not miss out on this release.
