In October 2018 Montreal-based singer-songwriter JIM ROBINSON released his 8th CD, NICK DEAN’S BARN : 15 new songs with their stories front and centre. What happens when he unexpectedly receives a package from an old friend? Growing up learning to play hockey on an outdoor rink. High school guys’ envy of the only guy who had a car. Lasting memories of an all night house party in the country. Being up on stage at NICK DEAN’S BARN playing for a room full of dancers.... “Like any live music venue," Jim says, "a dance hall carries far more meaning for the people who regularly gather & interact there than they realize at the time. When the barn itself burns down it rises again from the ashes and lives on in the memories of those who danced and played music there."
