</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[ Robert Robinson, the fabulous tenor seen and loved for 15 years with the Lorie Line Christmas Show, will be making an appearance here in Chester on Saturday, October 17th, at the Grace Church.
Robert will take the stage at 7 p.m. with his pianist and will perform a program of spirituals, gospel songs, and pops arrangements that will blow you away! Robert has been named "Minnesota's Master Male Vocalist" by the Minneapolis Star Tribune. He has performed with Aretha Franklin, nine time Grammy Award winner Andrae Crouch, Kenny Loggins, the Sounds of Blackness, Bobby McFerrin, and Barry Manilow, to name just a few. Robert currently serves as Executive and Artistic Director of the Twin Cities Community Gospel Choir, and he is a two-time Minnesota Music Award Winner for Best Gospel Artist and Group.
Robert has also been featured solo artist at Promise Keepers, the Billy Graham Crusade, and the National Day of Prayer in Washington, DC and as mentioned above was a featured vocalist with pianist Lorie Line and her Pop Chamber Orchestra with a subsequent appearance across the US on PBS. He was voted Best Male Vocalist by the Minneapolis and St. Paul entertainment paper, City Pages.
In the past year, Robert launched his newest "I Believe" CD at Hallmark Stores across the Midwest and kicked off his latest tour with an appearance at Carnegie Hall. Reviews continue to pour in: "Glorious" - Salt Lake City Desert News, "a volcanic talent" - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and the Minneapolis Star Tribune proclaimed Robert to be "a soaring presence". Perhaps more importantly, Minnesota's Insight News distinguished Robert as "a beloved institution", a nod to both his service to community and his sterling life's work. People love Robert. Artists look to him for affirmation. Fans adore his inclusive personality. They don't necessarily have to embrace gospel to embrace Robert and that is all right with him. It's all about his soul.
