Don Robinson

Banjo/Guitar/Vocals

Don lives near Hattiesburg, MS. with his wife Karen. They have two grown kids and two grandchildren. He plays banjo, finger-pick style guitar, and sings both lead and harmony vocals.  While on stage, Don’s natural down-home personality and humor quickly puts the audience at ease.  His musical roots are quite varied and run deep.  He’s played piano and sang with gospel quartets, performed with country bands, and continues to lead church music functions.  He’s also been a member of such groups as Sweet Dixie, The Crain Brothers, Harold and Ovaline & Up the Creek, Lickety Split, Common Ground, and The Jason Boone Band.  Don has also published and recorded many of his own songs and his songs have been recorded by other artists as well.

Most recently, Don’s “Sunday Morning Without You” was included on Special Consensus’ Grammy-nominated project “Scratch Gravel Road” which was nominated as “Recorded Event of the Year” by the IBMA, and enjoyed chart success on Bluegrass Unlimited’s charts as well as the charts on Bluegrasstoday.com.  His clean and tasteful banjo work is a driving force for Magnolia Drive’s traditional bluegrass sound.
