Queen Of The Music Scene

When something good comes along, it's only a
matter of time until Some Reviews.............
" Concerning the note about Robin singing "Somedays" at The Fest --- It was absolutely fantastic !! You had to be there. As soon as she got through about the first minute of the song I thought "You've won girl !!". And the packed ballroom agreed. She is so good she could sing professionally. Robin --- how about a CD of Beatles songs ?? And perhaps next year you could sing a few numbers with Liverpool."
"Robin Chifari is a local artist who has definitely made an impact on the scene. It's hard to believe that about a year ago, she was nervously trying her wings at her first open mic. Now, she runs the weekly open mic at The Village Pub South in Amityville, as well as regularly booking acoustic showcases at the same venue. This CD is her 5-song debut demo. It gives a good sampling of her rich, lovely vocal style and some nicely strummed 6 and 12-string guitar, and shows off her gentle, moody songwriting. My favorite song on the CD is the opening number, "Let It Rain". It features a chorus that showcases her voice, and sincere well-written lyrics. ("So many thoughts that I hide from myself/huddled, scared deep inside") Also strong are the slightly darker song, "What Is Your Legacy" ("What treasures will we find? / What is your Legacy? / What will you leave the children behind"), and her ode to a confused friend, "A new Life". RH "Host Robin Chifari took the stage next with Frank Walker, in an act they call EveWalk. While I have heard both as individual artists, this was my first experience of them together. Robin played rythym on her 12 string acoustic while Frank took lead on his 6 string, and together they complimented each other well in the vocal harmonies" To read the entire Aural Fix review of The Original Music Series including write ups for Jeremy Gilchrist, Christine Hayley, Kevin McLeod & Dave Isaacs, go to www.auralfix.com and see archives. Thank you to all who performed, and supported this event!

Review by Dan Brown, "EveWalk
at The Acoustic Blizzard"
Dec.12,
2003 at
The V.P. South
"Robin Eve Chifari and Frank Walker make up EveWalk, an acoustic storytelling duo who strum and harmonize about their world and surroundings. Nights like this were made for an act like EveWalk, and the crowd was ready to follow the pair wherever they wanted to take them. Robin wrote "The Fact's Don't Count" about the relationship with her young daughter and delivered the lyric in a way that brought the entire audience into her mother/child experience. EveWalk ended with Harry Chapin's "Mr. Tanner". The musician tale is very consistent with the band's style so it wasn't hard to see what moved them to choose this cover".

Long Island Press
December 2003. Review by Harlan
Friedman of WLIR 92.7 "Tri State
Sound" Radio.
Long Island has a rich folk-rock
history. From the earliest days
of Harry Chapin to the
modern-day coffee house, the
Island has been a hotbed for
folkies. Robin Eve Chifari is
the latest addition to this
list. The Amityville resident
was destined for a life in
music: Her mother was a musician
and radio host, and her father
was the announcer for the Ed
Sullivan Show. With her
mother's guitar in hand, Robin
played her own songs for the
first time this past May. She
quickly gained the interest of
the crowd and became an instant
favorite. Her songs give a
message of hope and love, and
are conveyed by a rich and full
voice. Not only is she a great
talent, but Robin has also
become one of the biggest
cheerleaders and supporters of
local music on the Island today.
She hosts an open mic night
every Tuesday at the
Village Pub
South in Amityville, which has
become a haven for the acoustic
singer-songwriter.

"Robin Chifari followed, singing
her heartfelt and uplifting
original songs, also with a
strong voice and positive
attitude. "Let It Rain", "The
Fact's Don't Count" and "I Wish
I Had Learned How To Fly" were
highlights"

Tuesday Open Mic at
V.P. South reviewed August 2003
by Keith Allen of the local band
Station Heights
"Acting
like any other good host would,
Robin Eve took the stage and
laid down the ground rules. She
said, "Are you guys ready for
the best damn open mic night on
long island?!@?" She waited for
cheers and then opened up her
set with my personal favorite
'All my yesterdays,' a song
about living for the future and
not dwelling on the past. Her
voice was simply beautiful and
her guitar playing provided the
perfect background."

Here's what
people have been
saying......

Robin Eve Chifari is
a gifted, talented
and lovely lady,
pure & simple" - F.
Walker (Oct. 2003)"Nice Demo. I like
the honesty of the
songs, and the
singing". -J. Chapin (Aug. 2003)"Songs escape from
your soul at any
time, even while you
are sleeping. In
time your songs will
run the gamut of
many emotions. For
anyone to chide you
for what you have
written, well, they
just don't get it.
I love you, I dig
you, I'm with you."
-R. Paul (Aug.
2003)"You Rock Lady" -
D. Acosta (Aug.
2003)
"
She amazes me every
week and will
definitely be a
force in the scene"
- J. Gilchrist
(July 2003)" 'What Is Your
Legacy'", is very,
very good but I
think "Let It Rain"
is far and above the
best. Your a cross
between Carly Simon
and I can't quite
get the second one
but I'll let you
know as soon as I
figure it out" - J.
White (July 2003)"Super songwriting
and an angelic
voice" - G. Brown
(July 2003)"Your lyrics are so
beautiful and
powerful and really
hit a nerve with

watching over you".
