Robert Kuhn was born in Houston, Texas, then bounced around from New York to Pennsylvania, Australia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua for a dozen years before coming back home and settling in Galveston. In his life he’s been everything from an Academic All-American Line Backer to a vagabond fisherman farmer writing critically acclaimed songs. Broken hearts, broken backs, failed marriages, violence, riches, drugs, labor, poverty, music, poetry, dirt, and salt.
Back in Houston, Robert formed a band with like-minded surf rock n’ rollers, reggae ragamuffins, and extraterrestrial ancient bluesman Little Joe Washington and recorded the album “Everybody Knows” – it was Little Joe’s last studio work, and recognized by the press as one of Houston’s Top Releases of 2014.
His latest album, PERSEVERE, is psychedelic folk rock n’roll produced after his last tour was cut short by a nearly fatal van wreck in Colorado.
Jaded Ravins members Kelly Ravin and Halle Jade began performing together in 2017 after Halle joined Kelly in the recording of his fifth highly acclaimed album, “Engine”.
Ravin, former lead singer and guitarist of Waylon Speed, now performs soulful americana and country rock originals with Halle Jade. Halle’s tasty harmonies and Kelly’s powerful voice along with their engaging stage presence make them a dynamic and expressive duo.
Kelly and Halle, who have been called a modern day Johnny and June, perform in large and small venues from New England to Nashville. Whether they’re playing at home in backcountry bars, or in big city clubs, Jaded Ravins always pour their hearts out.
