Robert Campbell Songwriters From Here & Away

I’m a singer-songwriter living in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

Today my work in music is mostly as a cowriter and supporter of songwriters through the ‘Songwriters From Here And Away’ initiatives which includes hosting:

Songwriting workshops, in person and virtual
‘Songwriter Meetups’ twice a month
‘Young Songwriters Showcase’ once a month, and,
sharing songwriters work via the growing radio show, currently airing on ~10 stations in Canada & USA, and as a podcast.

Our home studio allows for basic recording as well as providing keyboard, guitar and vocal tracks (myself or Cailin’s) for other for fellow artists. On occasion I perform solo, duo and in band format. I anticipate releasing some of my solo work and more Campbell + Green tracks, on occasion.

If you think I can help you out then I’d love to chat about what you are doing.
