“This is a record for anyone in the thick of it,” says Robinson. “It’s for the drive to a funeral at dawn through the wheat fields of Ohio. It’s for you who tend the babies and hold up the world. It’s for you, the misfits and fuck ups and shattered perfectionists and freshly humbled. It’s for you who are walking through grief and wondering if you’ll ever feel young again. This is often a dark world, but we can be lights for each other. I hope my music can be a light for you in the days to come.”
Produced by Josh Kaufman (Grateful Dead, Anaïs Mitchell, Bonny Light Horseman) at Dreamland Recording Studios in upstate New York, Appalachia pairs Robinson’s unmistakable voice and incisive songwriting with warm, organic production. The album continues Robinson’s tradition of deeply resonant storytelling, weaving intimate personal narratives against the broader backdrop of a changing America. With its emotional clarity and quiet strength, Appalachia captures the sound of an artist standing firmly in her truth, unafraid to sit with uncertainty and honor what remains.
