The Sudbury Meetinghouse Concert Series

Sam Robbins, a nationally touring singer-songwriter, originally from Portsmouth, NH, is making an appearance on Saturday, 10/5 at the Sudbury Meeting House Concert Series. Robbins, who performs over 200  shows a year across the country, has been making a name for himself in the folk and American music circles, as a 2021 winner of the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition, and as the first to sing a Jim Croce song on NBC’s The Voice.

Opening for Sam will be Sudbury’s own Neale Eckstein. Neale Eckstein has been chasing music his entire life. He started playing guitar when the Peter, Paul and Mary album came out. By the time he was in college, he was playing in cover bands but still revered the singer-songwriter genre. Neale, ended up being a pediatric dentist for 45 years, but never lost his love for the singer-songwriter. With his wife Laurie, they hosted the Fox Run Concert series for over 20 years. His interest in recording technology allowed him to set up a professional recording studio at home; he produced many albums for others along the way in his Fox Run Studio. Realizing he was about to celebrate his 75th birthday and had never released a real solo album, he asked his good friends in his writing group Fox Run Five if they would help him get it done, and they gladly agreed. It’s Never Too Late.

“He pays his respects to legendary artists such as James Taylor, Paul Simon, and Jackson Browne. Robbins attempts to rekindle that vintage sound and make it fit within our current times.”
