Robbi Sherwin
Rockin'
Robbi Sherwin hails from "The Live Music Capital of the World," Austin,
Texas. A former Air Force brat, Robbi was brought up one of only a
handful of Jews in small towns all over the U.S. She's been a NFTY
songleader, professional baker, singing telegram deliverer, waitress,
breastfeeding educator and still remains an energetic instigator. Robbi has served since 2005 as the spiritual leader of Congregation B'nai Butte in
Crested Butte, Colorado, where she has popularized the "Mountain Minyon" (Shabbat services on skis at 9,800 feet!); hiked at 10,000 feet; whitewater rafted through canyons, and read Torah and blown shofar in mountain meadows (with elk answering!). She is in high demand across the US as a cantor and artist-in-residence, leading women's retreats and Shabbaton specializing in congregaitonal songwriting. Her two CDs of original Jewish music, "Todah
LaChem" (Thanks, Y'all!) and "Aish HaKodesh" (the Holy Fire) continue
to be favorites around the world, with her music sung in both Jewish
and non-Jewish venues. Robbi is proud that many of her songs have won international Jewish songwriting awards been recored by others.
Her life-long dream is to sing with Paul Simon (NOT the Senator -
the other one), but she's pretty excited about creating great music
& ruach with Steve Brodsky and Scott Leader. Robbi is married to
"the long-suffering" Mark Jordan, and has two daughters, Jessica &
Katy and one son, Sam, and one awesome son-in-law, Ben.
