Robin Aigner

Robin Aigner played at Puppet Playlist.

Robin plays original old-time/Eastern European music the banjo, ukulele and guitar. Aigner (a member of old-world orchestrette Pinataland) mesmerizes crowds with musical tales, both fictional and factual. With songs about famed madame Pearl Polly Adler, Ellis Island immigrants Annie Moore and Irving Berlin, and the infamous Bonnie and Clyde, to ditties about stone-cold mamacitas, a florist from Florence to John Prine-style duets, no musical foray is out of Aigner's reach. Robin recently opened for Emmylou Harris in Nashville and just released her fourth album, Bandito

"With her candy-striped baby-doll dress, wild hair and gypsy music, Robin Aigner brought an ache-y folk sound to the stage. Singing songs of Winnebagos and the 1977 blackout, Robin is what would happen if The Mamas and The Papas merged with Loretta Lynn and picked up the ukulele." —NUVO

"If this were December, we’d be name-dropping this on our best-of-the-year lists and making up stories about how we caught Aigner before she broke big. And, if there’s any justice left in the American underground, this music won’t be self-released for very long." —American Songwriter
