Former Marshall, NC residents, now from From Cabot, Vermont – Americana, roots, husband and wife folk duo, Dana and Susan Robinson are celebrating not only their twentieth year of national and international touring, but a new CD as well!

The Angel’s Share is Dana and Susan’s fifth album since their 2004 debut Native Soil, and exemplifies their unique brand of contemporary songwriting infused with traditional influences. The Angel’s Share is a pared down recording, with no rhythm section and minimal instrumentation, leaving an abundance of space to help lift the vocals to the top of the mix. Threads of Celtic, country blues, Cajun, old-time mountain music, and traditional folk all emerge through the fabric of Dana’s original songwriting. Permeating The Angel’s Share is a feeling of place, and of home. Whereas Dana’s previous compositions extolled the wanderlust and expansiveness of travel, the material on The Angel’s Share hones in on themes of belonging and responsibility to one’s own location in the world.

A native of the Pacific Northwest, Dana relocated to New England where he discovered both a thriving songwriters scene and the deep well of traditional mountain music. In the early 1980s, Dana settled in northern Vermont and built a house “off the grid” (no electricity and phone) on 30 acres near the Canadian border. There he founded a popular bakery, café and music venue. Dana launched into full-time touring after the release of his 1994 debut CD, Elemental Lullabye, and after receiving a request to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City for Putumayo’s Shelter benefit project.
