Robyn Bennett - Facebook

Like the music she sings, writes and composes, Robyn Bennett is a burst of joy on a sensitivity that is as sensitive as the skin itself. In the tradition of the great American voices, the beautiful redhead radiates contagious music, heady melodies, simple and touching poetry. An exceptional voice, a powerful and sensual timbre.

Her new album "Glow" is declined in twelve tracks with unstoppable efficiency and instinctive groove. In this musical journey to the borders of jazz, swing and soul, Robyn manages to renew the genre with finesse and modernity.

Musicians : Robyn Bennett (voice), Ben Van Hille (trombone), Eric Delval (guitar), Xavier Sibre (saxophone), Gino Chantoiseau (double bass), Stan Augris (drums) et Laurian Daire (keyboards)
