Popular in the folk music scene of the 1970s and '80s, Buskin and Batteau are touring again after a 15 year hiatus. In the words of The Washington Post, they offer an "irresistible mix of melodic, sensual pop, folkie grit and killer wit." The New York Times called them simply "the most musically sophisticated act in folk." As professional jingle writers, their voices and tunes have been heard in almost every American household. They've had us listening "to the heartbeat of America", living "in a Burger King Town" and climbing "all aboard Amtrak". David Buskin (guitar/piano) and Robin Batteau (guitar/violin) with longtime compatriot Marshall Rosenberg on percussion, evoke a wide range of emotions, ranging from light-hearted amusement at "ESPN", or the pun-filled "Death in Venice", to the heartfelt sentiments of their well-known songs "The Boy With the Violin" and "Guinevere". Their new album "Red Shoes and Golden Hearts" was released last year. Call for reservations. Tickets are $15.

His releases as a leader have garnered five-star reviews from Leonard Feather, Down Beat Magazine. His recording 'Melody From the Sky' was the subject of a Wall Street Journal article by Nat Hentoff.

He has the ability to charm an audience and mesmerize them with his intelligent lyrics, humor and musicianship.
