ROBBO is Robb Zelonky, a writer and performer of original songs for children.  ROBBO has been teaching music at schools and camps ever since he was a kid himself.

      One day while teaching in school, a student of ROBBO's expressed frustration at the difficulties he was having with a bully named Jimmy. ROBBO improvised a song about a bully who 'learns his lesson' and called it "Jimmy Knucklesandwich", and two more songs: "Sticks and Stones", which is about respecting others; and "Homework."  The students were so enthusiastic in their response that ROBBO realized he had indeed found his happy calling in life - writing songs for kids.

      Today, ROBBO has become one of the most sought after children's performers in America!  He has sung all over the country, from the White House Easter Egg Hunt in Washington DC to the Cincinnati Folk Festival where he co-headlined with fold legend, Arlo Guthrie.  In total, ROBBO has performed in over 70 cities across America.

      Imagination and humor run rampant throughout a ROBBO concert!  Kids are encouraged to become friends with the "Giant In My Closet," and to fly like the all powerful superhero, Blanket Kid! They might participate with ROBBO in a song about a game of "Peek-a-Boo" or the great taste of "Marshmallows."  And ROBBO finds whimsy in some unlikely circumstances, like a broken arm in the swinging "Owie Zowie Kablowie," or in going to the doctor with "The Shot Blues."  He tangos to the annoying task of cleaning up a messy bedroom in "Blow Your Nose."  (You've got to hear it to believe it!)  And he does a pretty awesome Elvis when he sings "Don't Wanna Share My Toys!"

      In short, whether he is actively engaging the children with his 'silly' songs (as in Sammy Slippery Slither) or gently teaching them lessons about life (as in It's Only a Dream), ROBBO's music is always fun and entertaining, with just a dash of learning too!
