Sunapee CoffeeHouse – Robyn Macy

Robyn’s musical journey began in the nineteen sixties during “the Great Folk Scare.”  Early influences included listening to the music of Dave Van Ronk and Mississippi John Hurt whose finger-picking seemed to be just this side of magical. Over all the years, her love of the fingerstyle blues has persisted and expanded.

After college and grad school, a decades long engineering career interrupted Robyn’s musical pursuits but after a lapse of many years, she returned to music with enthusiasm. During the past ten years Robyn has performed at open mics in Sunapee, Andover and Warner, playing both covers and some original material. Robyn is therefore a newcomer to the stage, with tonight’s debut performance being the fulfillment of a dream many years in the making. She aims to make it a good one.

Beyond the blues, Robyn loves songs with some emotional heft and she frequently sings songs that tell a story. Songs that are poignant, wistful, funny, or gritty all reach out to her. So, look for some traditional fingerstyle blues, some covers that may pull the heart strings and some original songs as well.
