Downtown is a collection of nostalgic piano covers arranged and performed in Robin Spielberg’s inimitable style. From the 1931 hit, “Dream a Little Dream of Me” to last year’s Billboard sensation, “Driver’s License,” the selections span 9 decades of music, intended to stir memories in the listener. Downtown is Robin Spielberg’s 23rd album in a career that spans four decades. During the pandemic, when Robin’s tour dates came to a halt, she pivoted to live-streaming from her home Steinway with the help of her husband/producer, Larry Kosson. These livestreams offered an opportunity for connection and community, and as more and more people tuned in to Robin’s unique 90 minute set, the show became branded as “Robin’s Piano Bar.” The couple went from streaming using iPhones in 2020 to a HD 5-camera set up that now broadcasts on Fridays on five platforms (Facebook, Bandcamp, LinkedIn, Youtube and TwitchTV.) Robin has now performed 210 livestream concerts and continues to do so when not on tour. She has never repeated a set, and each week learns and arranges new songs to fit within a theme, while incorporating her original compositions. Downtown contains some listener favourites from “Robin’s Piano Bar.”
