Robin Crutchfield Biography

Robin Crutchfield is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on September 8, 1952 in Dayton, Ohio, United States. Robin Lee Crutchfield, born September 8, 1952, is an American artist. He is most well-known as one of the founders of the New York No Wave music scene. He has performed at legendary venues such as Max’s Kansas City, CBGB’s and Artists Space. His work has also been displayed at the Whitney Museum of American Art and MoMA.

After a twenty year hiatus Crutchfield returned to painting and writing in 2002. His work was centered on fairy tales, and his music was modified to reflect this. By the summer of that same year Crutchfield had exhibited both his new images and words at a gallery show curated by Norman Shapiro at the Leslie-Lohman Gay Art Foundation entitled Verbal/Visual/Tactile: Book Artist’s Show.

As of 2009, Robin has worked with noted independent label Important Records to release his fourth CD of harp/drone folk music entitled The Hidden Folk, which has received rave reviews from both critics and fellow contemporaries such as Kurt Weisman, and Thurston Moore. In late 2009 Crutchfield decided to enter the publishing world with a short book entitled Eleven Faerie Tales. Expanding his world of faeries from music into the written word, Robin used the creation of these fairy tales as a kind of therapy, to best express the emotions he had felt dealing with particularly difficult relationships or friendships over the years. These eleven tales deal with what it means to be a person, living through all the ups and downs of love, while trying to get to the very heart of what makes up our lives. Robin still lives in New York City and continues to create and be involved with the art world, most recently guest deejaying for Ceci Moss on East Village Radio. In the summer of 2015 Robin Crutchfield released the album into the Dark Wood, masterfully exploring the ethereal soundscapes that continue to drive his recordings.

Starting in the Spring of 2017, Crutchfield began hosting radio specials on the Luxuria Music network. This turned into a weekly Internet radio program in the fall of the same year. Robin Crutchfield’s Dark Day Escape Pod finds the artist curating a variety of music that he describes as a “road trip hopscotching across time and space from the morass of the morose to the cheerful earful, melodies from the mellow to the melodramatic, the sophomoric to the simply silly.” Dark Day Escape Pod can be heard every Monday night from 11 pm – 1am EST on LuxuriaMusic.com

In the late 1990s Crutchfield returned to Dark Day as a solo artist. He returned to an electronic sound with a natural progression, but it was still recognizable. His music departed from the cold synthesizer textures that he was known for on his previous albums. Robin’s music was featured in Bravo’s 2000 television series First Person, which Errol Morris created.

Robin tried his hand at acting in 1978, playing a small role in the cult New York film director Amos Poe’s The Foreigner. Crutchfield also did acting and created Nigh Eve Records, which was a record label that he released many of his songs.
