Premiered on March 31st, 2021, Phil Robinson is emanating greatness in this world with a benefit video showcasing his single, “Transcendental Cowboy”. Read along as we share our thoughts on the track, as well as a bit more information on how you can get involved.


Based out of New York, Phil Robinson is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter who just finished up recording his song at NYC’s iconic venue, The Bitter End. Released in order to raise awareness and donations for NIVA’s ongoing #SaveOurStages campaign, he’s received ongoing support from American Songwriter, Broadway World, NYS Music, and more.


It all started back in September of 2020 when Robinson conceptualized, organized, hosted, and performed in the “Save The Bitter End!” livestream fundraiser. On the song itself, Phil says, "Transcendental Cowboy is usually my encore song – it gives audiences the chance to yell at the top of their lungs, so it's always a lot of fun to play live! I thought it'd be a great fit for the #SaveOurStages campaign because it highlights that LIVE engagement between audience and performer that we all live for. Performing the song in an empty venue as I do in this benefit video highlights exactly what's been missing this past year and what we hope to get back once the pandemic's over and our music venues can hopefully re-open.”


You should also know that Phil Robinson has a debut album, Through The Middle, set for release this year via his label Roomful of Sky Music. Truly, Phil has been all over the place this past year striving and organizing these events all over New York benefiting the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, A Leg To Stand On, local food banks, and more.


Honestly, as talented as he is as an artist, he’s also the prime definition of a good person. While so many let these current events flow over them and pass the buck to someone else, Phil Robinson is out there fighting for what’s right. Our obvious recommendation here is to check out this video as soon as possible, in addition to becoming a full fledged Phil Robinson fan afterwards. With that debut album coming soon, the best time to hop on the bandwagon is now!


Another reminder here is that there’s a great little snippet towards the end of the video with a plan of action. If you’re wondering just how you can get involved, or donate to the NIVA Emergency Relief Fund, you can click HERE to do so.


With all this being said though, the prime objective is to bring awareness to those live musicians having a tough time, but also to let you know the greatness that Phil is putting out into the world. Support him, watch, and listen in by checking out the links below.
