ROBYNE DUNN



Robyne Dunn (born 1963) is a jazz singer, songwriter and pianist living in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. She is probably most famous for having recorded a version of ''Stairway to Heaven'' (the ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’ version) but is also responsible for a number of jazzy folky poppy style records which in their own way salute Burt Bacharach, Elton John, Elvis Costello and Kate Bush as much as Led Zeppelin. She emerged in the late 80’s via Mushroom Records and recorded her five-track debut self-titled EP in 1987. She was nominated for the 1990 ARIA Award for Best Female Artist with her debut album 'Labour Of Liberty', In 1992, she also recorded the song "You and Me" with Geoff Robertson & Kevin Bennett for the Yoram Gross movie Blinky Bill: The Mischievous Koala. Albums that followed were: 'Stowaway' (1994), 'Spindrift' (1997) and 'Songs from The Belfry' (2007). These days she enjoys the occasional gig.
