Great news!
Oh cool was just talking about you guys with a couple from Redwood Falls that enjoy you guys, be sure to put this on your schedule as they were going to check out your summer schedule!! You guys keep getting gooder and gooder lol. Absolutely appreciate that your indoors volume is loud enough to enjoy on the dance floor but decent to visit with others at the tables with.. that is class act when you know you sound great with out having to drown out people enjoying everyone else visiting!! Not many bands get that and knowing you guys figured that out I can see you getting more and more gigs because it makes a difference especially for weddings and fundraisers... also keeps the crowds longer!! 🎉🎻🎉🎊🎉📵🎉🎻🎊
They are very good

The Willmar Rotary Club is excited to announce our new band lineup for Rockin' Robbins 2018! Mark your calendars and join us out at Robbins Island Park every Tuesday night... July 17th through August 7th!
Tuesday, July 17, 2018 -- The crowd loved Matt Vee’s Neil Diamond tribute last summer, and this show is just as amazing! Matt joins his cousins, Tommy and Jeff Vee (sons of the late Bobby Vee), onstage for this tribute to the original stars of the golden age of country music.
Tuesday, July 24, 2018 -- Leading lady Pamela McNeill from the Fabulous Armadillos brings her Fleetwood Mac tribute, “Rumours and Dreams” to our Rockin’ Robbins stage! She’s joined by Minnesota Music Hall of Famer, Mary Jane Alm, and Jeff Engholm from Collective Unconscious.
Tuesday, July 31, 2018 -- Big Toe and the Jam was the new standout at last year’s Summertime by George concert series in St. Cloud. From James Brown, Journey, Bob Marley, and Aretha to The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce, and Christina Aguilera, you will love this band! Rumor has it, they also play a Disco Extravaganza that will leave you breathless!
Tuesday, August 7, 2018 -- Back by popular demand for year three, the Fabulous Armadillos will round out our Rockin’ Robbins summer season. Since 2006, this amazing group of musicians has established a large and loyal following of “Dilloheads” in Central Minnesota with their spot-on re-creations of soft rock and classic rock hits. They are a busy group, and we are lucky to have them back in Willmar!
NOTE... we're still looking for sponsors for our 2018 summer concert series. Please visit www.RockinRobbins.com for more information!
