Having met while studying abroad in Rome, Italy back in 2005, Johnny Robinson and Robbie Mueller began their music career playing at local Italian bars mainly just to say, "yeah, we gigged in Rome." However, since being reunited in Robbie's hometown of Chicago, Illinois, they decided to try their luck in the windy city.
Without a demo, myspace page (until now), or any real proof that they were any good, this duo was able to finagle their way into a gig at a bar in the famous Wrigleyville area. As a result of that fateful night, Johnny and Robbie have been able to secure monthly gigs at some of Chicago's most prominent venues. With the aid of their study-abroad following, family, and local friends they have been able to consistently draw big crowds that defy the laws of an economic recession. This laissez-faire attitude has worked well for them so far, but because of their success and ability to make new fans wherever they play, they have decided to take their craft more seriously and plan on recording an EP sometime this spring/summer.
With the strength of Johnny's vocals/guitar play and Robbie's tasteful guitar accompaniments and occasional successful harmony attempts, this band is bound for big things. Come check them out and tell all your friends that this is the best new (and probably only) duo in Chicago. Stay tuned for new music!
