Dutch Robinson Experience LIVE at 2nd Floor Gastown

Get ready for another amazing night of music featuring some of Vancouvers best at 2nd Floor Gastown. Sunday February 1st we have none other than Dutch Robinson Experience gracing our stage!
Dutch Robinson is a trailblazing soul singer, songwriter, and performer whose career spans over five decades and two countries. As an original lead vocalist of the Ohio Untouchables, the band that later became the iconic Ohio Players, Dutch helped shape the gritty, gospel-infused sound that would influence generations of funk and soul artists. His powerful vocals can be heard on early recordings like “Trespassin’” and “Love Is
Amazing,” tracks that laid the groundwork for the band’s later
mainstream success.
After parting ways with the Ohio Players in the late 1960s, Dutch
embarked on a solo journey that led him to Canada, where he continued to evolve as both a recording artist and a live performer. His solo albums, including “Nothin’s Got Me” and “Freedom,” showcased his dynamic vocal range and deep social conscience, with standout tracks like his stirring rendition of “People Get Ready” earning him international attention.
A multi-dimensional artist, Dutch also made his mark on the theatrical stage, starring in productions such as Ain’t Misbehavin’, and collaborating with gospel choirs and jazz ensembles across North America. He has remained an influential presence in the Canadian music scene, particularly in Nova Scotia, where he’s celebrated not only for his artistic contributions but also for his community activism and mentorship. With a voice that blends soul, funk, gospel, and theatrical flair, Dutch Robinson continues to inspire audiences with music that is as passionate as it is timeless.
