ArTEEtude is West Cork´s first art, fashion and design podcast created and produced by Detlef Schlich. He will dive and discover with us and himself into the unknown and exciting deep ocean of the creative mind. In this podcast Schlich talks with singer and songwriter Matthew Robb. Robb’s lyrical style of song poetry developed from a love of old-time country blues and his early years as a spoken word performance artist.

Alongside his distinctive take on the Americana genre coupled with intelligent and thought-provoking songwriting he regularly tours and performs internationally with his band but also solo when called for.

Matthew has up to now released three well-acclaimed albums and currently lives with his family in Cologne, Germany in a self-built home made from reclaimed material.

Albums can take time to ripen. For around thirty years the Cologne-based singer-songwriter has been making music. Now at the age of 48, he is releasing his first record. But the waiting was worthwhile. Bob Dylan himself could learn a thing or two from these 9 finely crafted songs. Influenced by the country blues, Matthew Robb’s musical arrangements grab your attention with their sheer simplicity. His voice, guitar and harp awaken the great traditional folk music of the American West. Without exception though, it’s the profound scope and depth of his lyrics that really make the compositions so contemporary and outstanding, Like a thread running through the album, the song poet speaks to the disillusionment of people living amongst the greed, procrastination and general malaise of a materialistic society, with themes as varied as modern-day slavery and the death of a close friend from alcoholism. However, despite this melancholic backdrop, Robb’s songs radiate a great hope that within mankind there lies a strength to lay that burden down.

As in the River, which says “There is a river that runs through you”
