Gretsch School of Music welcomes former âAustraliaâs Got Talentâ winnerÂ

91Âț»app College of Arts and Humanities and the Fred and Dinah Gretsch School of Music will host Joe Robinson in concert on March 22 on the Armstrong Campus in Savannah.
Born and raised into a musical family in Australia, Robinson began playing guitar when he was nine years old. At age 13, he won the Australian National Songwriting Competition, and at 15, he released his first collection of original material. A monumental achievement followed a year later when he won first place on the âAustraliaâs Got Talentâ television show.
Since then, he has developed a worldwide touring career, performing across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, China and Australia.
âIâm very excited to be performing in Savannah,â said Robinson. âI really appreciate the laid-back Georgia people. The vibe in some ways reminds me of the folks I grew up around in coastal and rural Australia.â
He continued, âThe Gretsch family have been longtime friends and great supporters of mine and to perform in support of the Fred and Dinah Gretsch School of Music is a great honor! Due to the demand for my online livestreams and educational programs, I am not touring very much this year. So, this will be a special evening. Iâm really looking forward to it.â
Robinson has garnered high praise and prestigious awards from the international music community.
Voted âBest New Talentâ in the Guitar Player Readersâ Poll, Robinsonâs talents were further recognized by Guitar Player magazine as part of a cover story titled âYouthquake 2017: Ten Mind Blowing Young Guitarists.â In the article, Guitar Player called Robinson âequally mind-blowing as an acoustic fingerpicker and electric soloistâŠhis YouTube videos display an astounding combination of taste, speed, cagey phrasing, and a clear, articulate and sparking tone.â
Joe Robinson will be in concert in Georgia Southernâs Armstrong Campus Fine Arts Auditorium on March 22 at 7:30 p.m. General admission tickets are $20 and student tickets are $5. More information can be found at .
