Robyn Hitchcock in at the South Broadway Cultural Center

We got to hear Robyn Hitchcock at the South Broadway Cultural Center last week. He’s such a fantastic performer. He played two sets of music, all requests, with his wife Emma adding some harmony for the last few songs. Then, he played the “encore” in the lobby. It was incredibly beautiful when he started A Day in the Life by the Beatles and everyone gently joined in for a sing along.
