Robyn Fear and Shannon Battle BIO's

Robyn Fear BIO

Songwriter, singer, guitarist.
Music has always been at the core of Robyn’s life. In college she majored in classical guitar and studied music theory and composition. She won several songwriting and band competitions with her innovative work. During her years in NY, her original band opened for national acts, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant and more. She released several cd's and taught herself midi programming and sound engineering. In the Florida Keys Robyn provided soundsystems for the bay jam festivals and other events in the early years.

Robyn says "Regarding my music career, I have loved it all, and every person I wrote music with, got to share the stage with, opened for, recorded or ran a sound system for. Music has been a continuous life force. It feels so good to play and dance!"

Years ago Robyn worked for Lyra Productions and mixed "live recordings" of BB King, Pat Metheny, Gary Burton, hammond B3 legend Jimmy Smith, Nestor Torres and broadway diva Ann Crumb. Her cd made it to the billboard top 10 in the jazz category the year it was released.
Robyn had the pleasure of recording and/or mixing recordings of many fine south Florida musicians, like Dave Feder, Billy Davidson and Paul Case, Jimmy Hawkins, Dana Collins, Steve Murphy, Aye, Addrienne Z, Diane Ward, Zac and several more...
Early in her career she worked in a duo with Beverly McClellan. Some of you may remember Beverly from season 1 of acclaimed TV show The Voice. She was a semi-finalist and toured worldwide. In 2017, Robyn and Beverly decided to again join forces and play in a duo, until Beverly's cancer diagnosis and passing in October of 2018. To this day she is still one of Robyn's all time favorite musicians and co-songwriters and is sorely missed.
Currently Robyn is in a Heart Tribute band and thoroughly enjoys performing the parts Nancy Wilson created.
