​

       Robbie Cavanagh doubles down on letting his music speak

      for itself. 

     There is no gimmick and there is no heartbreaking backstory.

    Cavanagh learned the art of writing fine, timeless music

   long before the days of viral moments and online trends, and

  those who know his work keep it close, grow alongside it and

value it far beyond a flash in the pan success story. 

There’s no doubt that in many ways, Robbie is a veteran of the industry, with an ‘Emerging Artist’ award, 3 studio albums,

several released co-writes and many festival and showcase

appearances under his belt, but Robbie’s unwavering focus

on staying true his identity as an artist has kept him

 current, fresh and popular through a decade as a full time

  touring musician.

 

Since releasing his third record “Tough Love’ Robbie has

been touring Europe, USA, UK and Canada, sharing his songs

and stories at showcases and festivals such as Folk Alliance International, Celtic Connections, Americana Fest (US & UK),

Cambridge Folk Festival, Showcase PEI, Black Deer Festival,

Kendal Calling. 

As well as headline shows with his backing band, Robbie has toured

in support of artists like The Wood Brothers, The Shires, Kristian Bush (Sugarland), Us The Duo. 

In 2021, Robbie was awarded Whispering Bob Harris’s Emerging

Artist Award at the Americana Music Awards.

​

Outside of solo releases, Robbie has written songs released

by such artists as Jim Lauderdale, Fairground Attraction,

Laura Oakes to name a few.
