A crowd of over twenty thousand travels from across the country to take part in one of the largest musical gatherings in the Northeast. The crowd (Vibe Tribe) is made up of every possible demographic. Teenagers to the Boomers, and everything in between attend the event with one common thread, to enjoy music and friends for a handful of days. The festival has become a tradition to so many, and in general, it is a great crowd. There have been a few issues with fighting, drugs, and Bridgeport Hospital reported seven overdoses. Every now and then,  I would get a whiff of weed in the air.  Thousands  have made Seaside Park their home over the next four to five days. Tents neatly line the northern section of the park. What is surprising is the event has been very clean. The festival offers four days of non-stop music with two setups; Solar stage and Green Vibes stages. Solar stage is  the main stage for the national acts, and Green Vibes for the local and more regional performers. The music is all good, It was not just Dead head music, but a variety of rock, blues, country blues, and more.            

The Christopher Robin Band was one of the acts performing at the Vibes on Thursday. CRB is local to Fairfield, CT, and a personal favorite of mine.            

 

   

 CRB plays at venues like The Fairfield Theatre Company, Ridgefield Playhouse, Westport   

Christopher Robin Band

 

Theatre, as well as some other venues in New York City and Westchester County. Front man, and guitarist, Christopher Robin is a real talent with original music, fantastic guitar, and vocals. He is the real deal. The band has a lot of talent as well rounding out the lead vocals and guitar. Truth is CRB’s most recent CD. The songs tell a story about Robin’s life on the road as a musician. The stories are  about Chris’s life experiences over the  past decade. The song, “All Mans Dreams” is actually about a turning point in Robin’s life when Gregg Allman found him, and then went on tour with Allman for three years. The song is about fate, and how Almann knocked on Robin’s hotel room door one night. The experience changed Chris’s life forever. Robin. is a journeyman who paid his dues as a blues apprentice. He has matured into a true talent. When you listen to Robin’s music you can really hear where he has been.
