|
Robin Hoffman is an 'ukulele-playing, singing-songwriting performer based in Western Massachusetts. She performs both solo and with the Just Fine Thank You band.
Robin picked up the 'ukulele upon retiring from a 20 year long career as a professional ballet dancer. She had danced in such companies as the Joffrey Ballet and the Metropolitan Opera, and she missed performing.
Her original songs have been described as "Joyously satirizing themes from Classical Mythology for modern times" Robin is influenced by early blues and ragtime, country music, and proto-punk rock and roll. She also teaches 'ukulele lessons at an independent local music store. She believes that any beloved music can and should be played on 'ukulele. |
| New EP |
 |
Mythology is a humorously subversive satire of Classical Mythology.
The EP contains four tracks, three of which are original songs:
"Echo" Gives Echo's encounter with Narcissus the doo-wop treatment.
"Medusa" elicits a vengeful blues.
"Daphne" decides to morph into a tree by reflective country waltz.
A cover of the tell-it-like-it-is classic, "Spoonful", by Willie Dixon, rounds out this musical essay.
Mythology starts streaming everywhere on August 18, 2025. CD's will also be available at live performances.
