Described by Roots Music Canada as “The Pink Floyd of Folk Music” the Red Dirt Skinners are the multi-award winning, multi-instrumentalist husband and wife team of Rob and Sarah Skinner.
The Skinners’ current album, Bear With Us, was listed in the highly regarded International Magazine, Music News, as one of their top 20 albums of 2021 – alongside Adele, Taylor Swift and Paul Weller to name but a few.
The duo cross more genres than would make sense to mention and have won National and International Awards in Rock, Folk, Blues, Country, Roots, Alt-Rock and Songwriting. It would be fair to say that if you like songs influenced by Pink Floyd, Simon and Garfunkel, Supertramp, Queen, and David Bowie coupled with some epic storytelling, humour and heartfelt emotions, you’ll love a Red Dirt Skinners concert.
With male and female harmonies blending together as one voice and Sarah’s trademark soprano saxophone solos, you will be swept along by the refreshingly different sound of the Red Dirt Skinners.
The Skinners have a natural rapport with their audiences and their live shows are a wonderful experience; a musical journey to remember. Rob and Sarah Skinner will steal your hearts. Don’t miss their show!
