robinson ear machine
Robinson Ear Machine started in Austin TX in 1998. The live music ensemble included between 9 to 15 players. The live shows were performed "in the round" and local clubs like Victory Grill, Ruta Maya and Electric Lounge would agree to allow the performers to inhabit the center of the club, while listeners were seated on the stage and anywhere else they could fit. With Rob Halverson, Tawnya Lorae, Gemma Wilson, Madeleine Sosin, Niki Duncan, Kathleen Murphy, Katie Morrison, Harold McMillan, Francie Meaux Jeaux, Thor Harris, Zac Colwell, Spencer Gibb, Paul Klemperer, David Boyle, Doug Marcis, Stewart Cochran, Kathy Zeigler, Matt Gordon, Kathy McCarty
“The Robinson Ear Machine, so named for the ears carved into the backs of Halverson’s guitars, provides a rare opportunity to see what it’s like when these musicians get together for the sole purpose of enjoying the music of one of their own, offstage, unabashed, and up for grabs. This is what makes Austin so great.”
