Robby Rothschild

Singing songs of his own making, and accompanying them with instruments such as the West African kora, Irish bouzouki, piano, and hand percussion, Robby Rothschild draws from the dual wells of tradition and personal expression. Known for his work with his brother Char in the duo Round Mountain, as well as his recent touring as percussionist with Kip Winger and Ottmar Liebert, Robby’s solo work represents a furthering of his search into musical wilderness.

His musical studies include travels in Ireland and Mali, and immersion in their respective musics, as well as ear training at New England Conservatory of Music, orchestration studies in a municipal conservatory in Paris, and a master’s degree in composition from the University of New Mexico.
