Robbie Bartlett has been performing in Louisville area
nightclubs since 1982. Her talent and strong sense of
musical direction is electric and engaging. Robbie and
her warm, smokey alto voice are heard regularly at popular
Louisville clubs.
She started singing at the age of four and has a strong
foundation in blues and jazz. Her styles include music
that complements the blues and includes such tunes and
artists as "Respect" by Aretha Franklin, "Good
Morning Heartache" by Billie Holiday, "Give
Me One Reason" by Tracy Chapman, and "Love
Sneaking Up on You" by Bonnie Raitt.
When the Louisville Palace was renovated, Robbie was
called to perform in Stagedoor Johnnie's, the adjoining
nightclub. When the Palace booked Dan Fogelberg, Tom
Jones, Sheryl Crow, and The Righteous Brothers, Robbie
and her band opened the shows. David Crosby and Graham
Nash specifically asked for Robbie Bartlett to perform
before and after their concert.
Robbie is in high demand at outdoor festivals, including
the American Diabetes Association's annual fundraiser
at the historic Louisville Water Tower, Garvin Gate
Blues Festival, Strassenfest, and the Butchertown Music
Festival. She played three consecutive years at "The
Best of Louisville Bash," and recently performed
in London, England, for an annual "Summer Ball."
Robbie also performs at private events such as weddings,
birthdays, country club activities, and fundraisers.
