Robinson & Rohe

“The Christmas story is a cultural inheritance that belongs to whoever claims it,” state the members of Brooklyn-based folk duo Robinson & Rohe on their Bandcamp page. “If it is the Church, then the Church will tell the story. If it is the corporate advertisers, the corporate advertisers will sell the story. But if it is the artists … then it is they who will create the story anew.” With this aim in mind, accordionist and singer Liam Robinson and guitarist and singer Jean Rohe present three holiday concerts. The musicians reclaim their favorite ancient carols in performances of songs from their 2014 album The Longest Winter.
