ARTIST BIO:
Robbie Fulks has always been more than a conventional country singer and songwriter. After growing up in North Carolina and spending time in New York City, Fulks began his professional music career playing bluegrass in the band Special Consensus before emerging as a solo artist in Chicago during the mid-1990s. His early albums received nationwide praise for blending a modern sensibility with honky-tonk country. His creative partnership with the late Steve Albini resulted in a string of highly regarded albums, showcasing his sharp lyrical wit, sophisticated instrumentation, and inventive storytelling.
Along the way, Fulks gained recognition for his instrumental virtuosity and powerful songwriting. Artists like Sam Bush, Andrew Bird, John Cowan, the Old 97’s, and Hiss Golden Messenger have covered his songs, and he has released full albums reinterpreting the works of Michael Jackson and Bob Dylan, along with two collections of unreleased songs and rarities totaling 103 tracks. His creative ventures include an unhinged 2013 collaboration with the punk legends The Mekons, productions of albums by alt-country songwriters Brennen Leigh and Dallas Wayne, and a fiery duo with rockabilly pioneer Linda Gail Lewis. Fulks also performs with comic improvisers; he is a regular at Second City’s holiday fundraisers and has shared the stage with talents like Michael McKean, Tina Fey, Bob Odenkirk, and Fred Armisen.
Fulks resides in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Donna Jay Fulks.
+++++++++++++++++
The first part of the taping is structured with the artist's 5 most popular songs, telling stories & answering questions from host Bill Poss (& the the audience!). After a short break, the artist plays some more songs, concert-style.
We usually pass the hat for the artist, but this one will be a ticketed show.
The Starlight Listening Room is at Poss Music Works headquarters, 1915 S Banker Street, Effingham IL.
Chairs are provided. Feel free to BYOB or snacks for yourself or to share.
---The Guest List, presented by Poss Music Works, is a podcast available wherever you listen to content. The Guest List is about songwriters, their most impactful songs, and the stories behind them. Bill Poss, a notable troubadour in his own right, is your host and executive producer. Each episode, we ask a traveling North American songwriter to perform their 5 most popular/requested songs -- all in front of a live, invite only, studio audience. Garrett Burris is your audio engineer and producer. JJ Passalacqua with the weather.
