Anybody who is familiar with the St. Louis blues music scene must surely be familiar with Keith Robinson. Whether they know him by name or not, Keith is everywhere.

He can frequently be found drumming behind major area acts such as Arthur Williams, Barbara Carr, Boo Boo Davis, and oh yeah, Chuck Berry. Robinson has been a regular member of Berry’s band for well over a decade.

Beginning when he was barely a teenager, Robinson has accumulated an impressive list of performing and recording credits which includes Johnnie Johnson, Oliver Sain, Albert King, Tyrone Davis, Rufus Thomas, Fontella Bass, Ernie Isley and Little Milton. To those of us who know him well, Keith’s personality is warm and jovial. He is a humble man who is quick to show his respect for area drummers and musicians, including those who have nothing like the resume he does. Robinson. Robinson’s time and groove are exemplary, as is his keen ability to follow subtle cues from the singer or bandleader—even without the benefit of prior rehearsal. He is known for his reliability, professional attitude and work ethic. Perhaps most importantly, he has a great sense of what his role in the band is and the discipline not to overstep it. Robinson is grateful for an amazing career that started when he was a child with Oliver Sain.
