  • Canceled Sam Robbins in Concert

    Coaldale Schoolhouse 287 Hayden Creek Road, Coaldale, CO, United States

    The booking agent for musician Sam Robbins has notified organizers that Sam’s Colorado tour plans have changed, and he must cancel his Pleasant Valley appearance. His “anchor show” elsewhere in the state fell through, making the trip no longer feasible. If you purchased tickets through Mighty Squirrel, and haven't received your refund yet, reach out to Bruce Warren (bbppww01@hotmail.com )



    The Schoolhouse hosts rising singer‑songwriter Sam Robbins for an evening concert on August 1. Often called an “old‑soul troubadour,” Sam’s sound blends the warmth of James Taylor and Jackson Browne with a modern, upbeat edge. His song “Hard to Hate” shows exactly why audiences—and festivals like Kerrville and Falcon Ridge—have embraced him. Critics are already calling him “one of the most promising new songwriters of his generation.”
