"Christopher is what an artist should be...You will hear from him in the marketplace and I know no equal." -Jessi Colter (Jennings)
"He's got a good attitude and a lot of talent..." -Willie Nelson
"Christopher Robin, probably one of the finest guitar players I ever heard..." -Raul Malo (The Mavericks)
"The Christopher Robin Band had won over the crowd one minute into the first song of their set opening for The Robert Cray Band at The Ridgefield Playhouse in July 2007. Their versatility and chemistry on stage was as palpable as their raw talent. Having personally booked the act I was aware of the quality of their music, but not the depth of their abilities. The live performance breathed a whole different life into the songs which engaged and enthralled the audience; so much so that they received the first full standing ovation for an opener in the past three years. This young band has tremendous talent and a promising future." -Jared A.Shahid
"I think this is the time for Christopher Robin. America is looking for his kind of music..." -Kent Burkhart (Radio Hall of Fame Inductee)
"It's rare when you see the kind of response to new talent that we've seen from our audience since Christopher Robin came in to do our morning show. Not only a great and versatile talent, but a great interview with cool stories and the kind of media savvy that usually only comes from the grizzled veterans. Can't wait to have him back, and neither can our listeners!"-Neil Hedley- i95 morning show DJ
"Christopher...someday you'll be one of the great musicians so don't ever stop playing..." -Gregg Allman
"From Fairfield, Conn. to a little apartment in San Francisco to Music City, USA - Nashville, Tenn. to the mapmakers - singer/songwriter Christopher Robin has seen and done it all, a traveled troubadour cut from the same cloth as the music legends he so reveres"(Play Magazine.)
Since he picked up the guitar and taught himself how to play at the age of 14, his musical roots have included personal lessons from artists like Michael Hedges, Gregg Allman, Wayne Henderson and Garth Webber, yet his tone, chord structure, feel, searing solos and sense of melody remain truly his own.
"All of my songs are true stories - I've had residency in seven different states - and there's been a lot of stories. They're about all the things I've done, from sailing on tall ships to being a cowboy in Colorado, to playing for Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses in Europe, or the Hells Angels in California, to your typical love-on-the-rocks kind of thing."
"After more than a decade of paying his dues and soaking up the wisdom of seasoned, storied performers, however, Christopher Robin is now poised to become one himself" (Play Magazine)
Christopher has opened for, shared the stage or recorded with a long list of artists including Joe Higgs, Clarence Clemmons, Gregg Allman, Robert Cray, Lee Sklar, The Marshall Tucker Band, Shooter Jennings, Jackie Pearson, Garth Webber, Reggie Young, Del McCoury, Jimmi Hall, Berry Oakley Jr., Bee Spears, Richie Albright, Mark Matejka, Big and Rich, Don Was, Tony Joe White, Rosanne Cash, Robin Trower, Los Lobos and Steve Cropper...
Additionally, Christopher is still called upon to sing and play guitar for the original "Lady Outlaw", Jessi Colter.
