ROBERT CINI BAND!! A dream coming true! Passport to Airlie Competition 2023 

So you may or may not have seen me share recently a clip or two of me playing with some other musicians.  I haven’t really made an official announcement and you might’ve even worked it out, but for the past 5 months or so we have been cooking up the Robert Cini Band.  Yeeessss!

 

Things have been coming together nicely and I’m super excited that with the help of these 4 other legends we are bringing new life to these original songs in a live setting. We are getting ready for our first public hit out on the 3rd September at the Passport to Airlie Comp at the Jack in Cairns.  This will be so much fun and we are all really looking forward to sharing these songs with you in a way you have never heard them live before!  We’d be tickled pink to see you there and have your support to cheer us on and there’s also a people’s choice vote that could help us mega in getting to the final.

Supporting Lisa Mitchell! Less than a month away!! 

A little less than a month away! I’ve been looking forward to this for over a year now as it was postponed a couple of times... Thanks Covid! I will be supporting the amazing @lisahmitchell at her Cairns show at @tanksartscentre on Saturday 23rd July. Loving her new album btw! Grab some tickets and head along. It’s surely going to be a great night! @robert_cini #support #singersongwriter #livemusic #cairns #fnq #fnqlife #fnqmusic #lisamitchell #popmusic #folk #acoustic #cairnslocal

CANCELLED!!! Agnes Blues, Roots & Rock Festival 

The tears have been falling - like the wall behind me oh so subtly illustrates. Yes unfortunately the bad news is that @agnesbluesfest has been CANCELLED for Feb 2022! “Cheer up Rob it’s not the end of the world” you say! Yeah I know I’m just feeling little bummed I won’t be hitting the road in Feb and getting to play for the beautiful people in central QLD. Hopefully 2023 will be a goer! Thank you to all organisers who have worked so hard putting the festival together and had to make this tough decision. #agnesbluesfest #agnesbluesrootsandrockfestival #cancelled #teardropsonmyguitar #bummer #sad #nextyear

Thanks Savannah in the Round!!! 

Savannah in the Round Thanks so much for having me! What a special weekend to be a part of! Performing at a festival with the likes of Lee Kernaghan Troy Cassar-Daley Busby Marou @thejohnbutler (good old fb not showing the tag ) and tonnes more was incredible! Thank you from my heart to those who came to see my set on Saturday morning, to the most wonderful and friendly staff, crew and volunteers braving the scalding heat, the organisers for putting together a truly top shelf music festival (especially in these current times) that I hope will be around for a long long time. AND everyone who came to the festival I hope you had as much fun as I did! #savannahintheround #savannahintheround2021 #musicfestival #countrymusic #festival #country #mareeba #athertontablelands #farnorthqueensland #fnq #fnqmusic #fnqmusician #ausmusic #singersongwriter #music #australianmusician
