Robbie Fulks is an American singer/songwriter, guitarist, and producer. Born on March 25, 1963 in York, Pennsylvania, he has established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry. With his unique blend of country and folk influences, Fulks has captivated audiences with his heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies.

Fulks draws inspiration from a wide range of artists, including *The Bottle Rockets*, *The Gourds*, *Waco Brothers*, *Alejandro Escovedo*, and many others. His music resonates with fans who appreciate authentic storytelling and genuine emotion.

With an impressive discography spanning several decades, Robbie Fulks continues to create music that speaks to the heart. Whether performing solo or collaborating with other talented musicians like *Buddy Miller* and *Todd Snider*, Fulks consistently delivers memorable performances that leave a lasting impact on listeners.

While bluegrass music has always been a part of Fulks’s musical vision, BLUEGRASS VACATION, is his first purely bluegrass endeavor. Paired with a cast that features some of the brightest stars of the genre including Sam Bush, Sierra Hull, Ronnie McCoury, Tim O’Brien, Alison Brown, John Cowan and Jerry Douglas, the result is one of the most remarkable bluegrass albums of the century. In the end, Fulks plants his flag firmly in the bluegrass tradition, a genre that built the stepping stones Fulks walks on today. He muses: “Electric guitars might give way to computers, as seems to be happening now, but the mountains will still be right there.” It’s abundantly clear that BLUEGRASS VACATION is more than just a musical dalliance for Fulks. He owns the music as much as it owns him and the listener is left hoping that this bluegrass vacation will end up becoming a staycation.Robbie Fulks’s adventurous spirit has defined a critically acclaimed 30-year career that has included 15 solo albums and two GRAMMY® nominations. He came to national attention as a defining artist of the alt-country scene in the 1990s, with releases on the Chicago-based indie Bloodshot Records, North Carolina’s Yep Roc, and Los Angeles’s Geffen Records. While Fulks’s aversion to genre constraints and conventions has sometimes made him hard to pigeonhole, American country music, in the widest sense, is his home base—whether the country of Doc Watson, Bill Monroe, Merle Haggard, Bobby Charles, or Mississippi John Hurt. For the last ten years, he has focused on his writing and performing with homespun tales and acoustic instruments.
