Music Impetus For American Community Garden Association’s “Garden Aid Day”
Music Impetus For American Community Garden Association’s “Garden Aid Day”
“People aren’t going to believe what they just heard...” -
Garrison Keillor, A Prairie Home Companion
Imagine the charming, effervescent wit of June Carter Cash gracefully colliding with the shimmering vocals of Emmylou Harris and you begin to describe Nell Robinson. The Alabama-born, Bay Area artist released her debut album after having first established herself as a successful fundraiser for organizations including Mother Jones Foundation.
Now Robinson performs from a place of farmhouses, country stores and family spirit that echoes with the sounds of Hank Williams and Johnny Cash. Hilary Perkins’ romance with family history informs her stage name (her grandmother’s name) as well as her writing on both ‘House & Garden’ and her Fall 2013 release ‘Soldier Stories’.
‘House & Garden’, a collaboration with musical partner Jim Nunally (guitarist/vocalist for David Grisman’s Bluegrass Experience), is a pastoral song-set that finds Robinson tending to a metaphorical garden, tracing life’s natural ups and downs through music, living at the intersection of bluegrass, country, folk and Americana.
Through it she continues to pay homage to her family with songs like the timeless, "My Soul,” based on a 1919 poem written by her great-grandfather after his return from World War I, and a soulful rendition of country music legend George Jones’, “Old Old House.”
To celebrate the release, two top gardening brands and a major retailer are collaborating with Robinson on ‘House & Garden’. Burpee, America’s premiere seed company founded in 1881, will include seed-paper in the artists’ eco-friendly CD packaging and provided seeds to community gardens supported by the American Community Garden Association (ACGA) on March 20, the first day of Spring also known as “Garden Aid Day”. More community partners will be announced next week.
