Buskin and Batteau
David Buskin & Robin Batteau have been performing their “irresistible amalgam of melodic, sensual pop, folkie grit and killer wit” (The Washington Post) for more than forty years. Their songs have been recorded by many great artists, including Judy Collins, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, The Oak Ridge Boys, Peter, Paul & Mary, Johnny Mathis, Tom Rush, Bette Midler, Astrud Gilberto, Anne Murray, Dixie Carter and Roberta Flack. Their Clio Award-winning jingles have been recorded by “everybody famous with a mouth.”
But they are at their best live, dishing out what Stephen Holden of The New York Times called their “by turns acerbic, funny and plaintive” music and commentary.
“Their harmonies and wonderful presence onstage are as captivating as ever.”
— Ron Olesko, host of Traditions on WFDU-FM (New Jersey)
“They are something special. I think they levitated the audience. Terrific musicianship, memorable songs and just great all-around entertainers.”
— Rich Warren, WFMT (Chicago)
They are proud to have performed and produced benefits for and served on the boards of numerous nonprofit organizations including WhyHunger, Ocean Alliance, The Hole in the Wall Camp and Stand for the Troops.
They are delighted to be returning to The Mainstay — “one of our favorite places to play. Warm, responsive audiences who so far have not asked for their money back.”
