Robbie Boyd for Toc Toc Firenze

Описание: filmed by Benjamin Sidney 2014 at Teatro del Sale Firenze

Robbie Boyd has performed live on ITV’s ‘This Morning’ twice, written a song with the legendary Ray Davies and been regularly aired on BBC Radio 2 by the likes of Graham Norton and Jeremy Vine. He’s just released this year’s hotly tipped debut album, ‘So Called Man’, produced and mixed by Tristan Ivemy (Frank Turner, Magic Numbers). Robbie’s forthcoming single, ‘Brave’, is a stand-out track with a catchy melody that exudes life and positivity, and demonstrates Robbie’s versatile vocals along with his band’s powerful folk-driven groove.

Robbie’s charming songs have captivated a worldwide audience of just under
11,000 Facebook fans and over 500,000 YouTube views. He’s supported artists like The Kooks, McFly, Daughter, The Feeling, Jack Savoretti, & Suggs! Robbie’s sold out his last six London headline shows, he’s performed at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire twice, and was the first ever Brit to perform on the roof of the O2 Arena. Robbie and his band have toured the UK several times, recently completed their fourth Germany tour, and have toured Italy three times. Robbie’s also been invited to Nashville, Argentina and Japan to perform, write and record! Robbie played at the Isle of Wight Festival 2014 and has played Bestival, Wilderness, Big Feastival, Great Escape, Standon Calling, and Beautiful Days among other festivals.

Robbie's debut album ‘So Called Man’ draws on his broad range of musical influences, and features 12 songs decorated with luscious melodies and wistful lyrics reminiscent of Passenger, with a post-Mumford twang. The album includes debut single ‘Less Than Friends’, a toe-tapping tale of unrequited love. It should be dark and moody; instead the song is full of hope – which sums up what this album is all about.

Robbie’s lyrical inspiration is an uplifting affirmation of the many hours spent busking on the streets of London, Paris, Cologne and Buenos Aires where he honed his craft. The tight harmonies and instantly memorable tunes, reflect Robbie’s refreshingly bright outlook, displayed on tracks such as ‘Colours In Your Eyes’, while the hooky chorus on ‘I Want You To Stay’ is feel-good and heartwarming.

Robbie’s talented band of like-minded minstrels, add to the festivities whenever they play live, filling each venue with good time vibes. Their performances have been favourably reviewed in The Times, Evening Standard and Time Out, with online support coming from the likes of Huffington Post and Rolling Stone.
