Berkshires-based Doug Mishkin is a singer-songwriter best known for “Woody’s Children,” his song celebrating the legacy of Woody Guthrie. Doug
says he was “born the night my mother took me to my first Pete Seeger concert” and then “came of age at the campfire where I first heard the songs of Tom Paxton,
Phil Ochs and the rest of that crew. Those songs spoke to me—and they still do.”
Doug recently released his third album, Tip of the Spear. Last July, his album release concert at the Guthrie Center included special guest Christine Lavin.
Since then, Doug has played numerous house concerts and clubs, including the iconic Bitter End.
Doug’s two earlier albums are Climbing That Ladder (2008) and Woody's Children (1986). On the former, Doug recorded Peter Yarrow’s “Sweet Survivor”
accompanied by Peter, with whom Doug performed many times. Yarrow wrote: “[T]his version of ‘Sweet Survivor’ …is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever heard.
I’m most proud to have recorded it with him.”
Doug and his wife Wendy are long-time supporters of the Guthrie Center.
Doug’s music has brought him accolades from some of our most distinguished folksinger-songwriters:
Tom Paxton: “Doug Mishkin gets what folk music is all about and he passes it along with energy and humor. He is a splendid and engaging performer. You will love him.”
Tom Chapin: “Don’t miss Doug Mishkin. He is a great singer, performer, song-leader, story-teller, musician and a longtime friend with whom I have shared many a stage.”
Christine Lavin: “Doug Mishkin is one of the top singer songwriters working today. It has been an honor to share the stage with him at Lincoln Center’s Merkin Hall more than once. All of his songs have the unmistakable ring of truth that all songwriters strive for, but Doug achieves every time. And he was born with a beautiful singing voice, which makes his performances all the more stirring and pleasurable.”

Sam Robbins is often described as an "old soul singer songwriter." A New England based, nationally touring musician whose music evokes classic singer songwriters like James Taylor and Jackson Browne, Sam adds a modern, upbeat edge to the storyteller troubadour persona. An avid performer, he has gained recognition from extensive national touring, from sharing the stage with artists like Jason Mraz and David Wilcox, and as a main stage performer at national festivals like the Kerrville, Falcon Ridge and Philadelphia Folk Festivals.
Touring with a new acclaimed album, “So Much I Still Don’t See”, named one of Atwood Magazine’s 2025 “Artists to Watch”, leading songwriting workshops and exciting performances across the country, Sam Robbins has gained a reputation as one of the brightest rising stars in the national folk music community.
