Robinella’s career began with a sort of luck that rarely comes to  most artists within their lifetime.  What started out as a simple  husband-and-wife duo fresh out of college quickly grew to a full-fledged  band that blended Bluegrass, Country and Jazz. The combination of  Robinella's honey-sweet vocals with violin, mandolin, bass, drums and  piano captivated audiences, thus creating the ever popular Robinella  & the CC Stringband. 

They released their first album, self-titled Robinella and The CC  Stringband, in 2000, which quickly followed, No Saint, No Prize in 2001.  Both were on the independent label Big Gulley Records. With a few  simple twists of fate, what followed was a whirlwind of rapid success -  Columbia Records liked what they heard and signed Robinella in 2002. The  label took seven songs from the band’s two prior albums and released  them as the CD Blanket for My Soul and then released a full album in  2003, Robinella and the CC Stringband. This led to a national tour  including opening for such artists as Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Earl  Scruggs, Nickel Creek, Robert Earl Keen, Kasey Chambers, Del McCoury and  Rodney Crowell as well as an appearance on “Late Night with Conan  O’Brien” and a music video on CMT for their hit single, “Man Over”.  She  also performed on NPR’s “Mountain Stage,” appeared on the Grand Ole  Opry and performed on PBS’s “SoundStage.” In 2006, Robinella was  nominated for “Emerging Artist of the Year” at the Americana Music  Awards and released her fourth album, “Solace for the Lonely”, on  Dualtone Records in Nashville. 

But then life, as it has a tendency to do, threw a few curveballs her  way. She became a mom and a couple of years later, she and her  husband/musical partner split up with a new record almost completed.  Exhausted and somewhat disillusioned with the industry and its promises,  it was time to regroup, redefine and get back to her roots. So she  returned to her home, the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, and  got back in touch with what she truly wanted – love, family, friendship,  music, art, truth.
