Robbie Mangiardi: is a singer songwriter currently based in Los Angeles who has been writing his own material for well over 50 years but only now has he found a desire to get his songs out to the real world. Singer-songwriter is a term that now is a big umbrella. Artists like Mississippi John Hurt, Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams and later Dylan, Nina Simone James Taylor, Randy Newman, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell mastered their instruments, their singing, their lyricism and storytelling to a high art that drew Robbie to a place where he found himself inspired to do the same. A lead singer in a band at 15, Robbie later started writing and playing in a few high school bands and later the folk circuit in NYC and New England but after that just wrote music for years but rarely played out. Had his share of troubles with drugs and the law that did not help. He called himself, "a closet songwriter who wrote songs for an audience of one. I wrote songs to soothe myself, I guess. It still is a form of escapism to me." Robbie has been featured in American Songwriter magazine and Elmore Magazine, among others. He has also been a guest on the iconic WPFK’s radio show Folk Scene with Allen Larman. This will mark his sixth appearance at The Yard Theatre.
