Robin Bullock

Robin Bullock (1964, Washington D.C) is a composer and guitar, cittern and mandolin palyer. His music blends celtic and Appalachian music. The 17th-century harp tunes of legendary Irish bard Turlough O'Carolan, the spirited jigs and reels of rural Ireland, the haunting ballads of the southern Appalachians and evocative original compositions all find a musical common ground in Robin's music, where lightning-fast fingerwork one moment is perfectly balanced with tender, quiet intimacy the next.
