"Quit Your Job - Play Guitar" is not just the title of a CD,
but also the way one musician chose to live his dream.
WHY "QUIT YOUR JOB - PLAY GUITAR"? Until 6 years ago, Mark Robinson was a video producer at Indiana University in Bloomington - and one of the very best guitar players in town. But he quit that monkey job and moved to Nashville to live his dream: playing guitar for a living. He played, played, played guitar, wrote songs, ran his own recording studio, produced, went on the road, taught guitar, and began work on Quit Your Job - Play Guitar. It's roots-based blues, soul, americana, rock, r&b - and all Mark Robinson.

Blues Boulevard
President Alfie Falckenbach, after receiving notice from Radio
Submit of new blues music available, went online to listen, liked
what he heard, and contacted Robinson about coming over to Blues
Boulevard.
To Robinson, it
looked like a match made in blues heaven: Blues Boulevard's catalog
includes classic blues re-issues from masters such as Muddy Waters,
Buddy Guy, Solomon Burke, and Howlin' Wolf, and new acts which represent
the future of blues and blues-rock, including Delta Moon and Alvin Jett
& The Phat Noiz Blues Band.
A European tour
is in the works for late 2011, with a follow-up Mark Robinson CD on the
horizon for 2012.
Quit
Your Job - Play Guitar was self-produced and put out in
September 2010 on Robinson's own Blind Chihuahua label. The reception
from the roots and blues world, and now the deal with Blues Boulevard,
proved to Mark Robinson that sometimes dreams do come true, and he looks
forward to working with Blues Boulevard.
