Robin Henkel Busker's Bounce.mov

Here are the 7th Day Buskers performing Robin Henkel's tune "Busker's Bounce" at the Adams Roots Fest 2003. On stage are band leader Shawn Rohlf (guitar), Ken Dow (bass), Don Hickox (fiddle), Robin Henkel (Dobro i.e. National tricone) and Steve Peavey (mandolin) --Steve is one of the most gifted musicians I have ever had the opportunity to know and perform with, dig his comping and solo.

Each member brought their own unique musical signature and personality to the band. With the direction of bandleader Shawn Rohlf and the support of some wonderful fans, the 7th Day Buskers kicked up quite a bit of dust in the San Diego area performing at the Hillcrest Farmers' Market, The Whistle Stop, Lamb's Player's Theatre and Lyceum Theatre as well as places in Texas, Washington, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona. They were loved and appreciated by many.

Shawn Rohlf is one of the most prolific, kind of odd and different, but really interesting and excellent songwriters that I have ever met. Under his compositional guide the band started from bluegrass, but included influences of folk, Americana, Irish and even an acoustic rock attitude--from edgy and sometimes chaotic to delicate and sensitive.

The 7th Day Buskers (kind of) broke up / disintegrated although they have from time to time reassembled when asked to play special shows such as the Summer Pops 4th of July Concert with Marvin Hamlisch. They are now survived by Shawn's present group "Shawn Rohlf and the Buskers." Go see 'em! Buy their records! Ya'll come back now ya'hear?

Thanks for watching,

Robin Henkel
