Biography

  • If ever there were an example of the YouTube success story, Cavetown would be it. It all started in October 2013 when Cavetown — the musical moniker of English musician Robin Daniel Skinner — uploaded his first music video to a video-sharing platform.

    Called “Haunted Lullaby,” the song was less than a minute long and featured Skinner’s light, comforting tenor vocals over a delicately-plucked ukulele and reversed samples.

    Skinner was just 14 when he released his debut album, Everything Is Made of Clouds, on Bandcamp. The album came out roughly a month before “Haunted Lullaby” and began to draw listeners from the start. It’s an album that delivers the same warm, intimate feeling as many other forms of indie pop, though with a distinctive feeling of detached honesty and bedroom pop vibes.

    All this inspiration had to come from somewhere. It should come as no surprise then that Skinner’s father, David, was a choir director and musicologist who taught his son guitar at age eight. Likewise, Skinner’s mother was a music teacher and a professional Baroque flutist. Raised in Cambridge, Skinner had no shortage of influences and musical trendsetters to follow.

    After Clouds came more EPs and albums: 2014’s Gd Vibes, 2015’s Nervous Friends // Pt. 1 and Everything Is Made of Stars. In 2015, Skinner also released his first single “This Is Home” in advance of his self-titled album Cavetown in November 2015. This album combined acoustic and electronic elements in eight irresistible tracks, including “Meteor Shower” and “Devil Town.”

    During this time Skinner had also begun another activity he is now famous for: covers. His YouTube channel became a virtual treasure trove of covers of artists like Joji, Twenty One Pilots, Pinegrove, and others, often with creative changes and introspective takes on the songs’ lyrical meanings.

    2016 saw the release of Skinner’s second full-length album, 16/04/16. This title was the date of death of Skinner’s childhood friend, Jack Graham, who lost a battle with leukemia. The album is a touching tribute, with “warm, melodic bedroom pop” mixed with “lo-fi indie rock” – and 60% of all proceeds went to Cancer Research UK.

    In April 2017, Skinner was still at Sixth Form College and had reached the final stage of the Cambridge Band Competition. He won both the Kimberley Rew Award for Songwriting and the Best Acoustic Act, which gave him a chance to play at Strawberry Fair that summer. One year later, he released LEMON BOY, his third full-length album, which has gone on to collect 54 million Spotify streams.

    2019’s Animal Kingdom was a compilation of five single splits with artists like Simi, Sidney Gish, Chloe Moriondo, and spookyghostboy. The single “Prom Dress” by Mxmtoon has gathered over 152 million Spotify streams and has made it to 100,000 videos on TikTok.

    That same year, Cavetown signed to Sire Records and began a worldwide tour headlining sold-out shows. Playing at 31 venues in the US and 15 venues in the UK, he was joined by musical friends like Chloe Moriondo and Hunny.

    Though COVID-19 forced cancellation of Cavetown’s 2020 tour, the year was still a busy one. He released his major label debut Sleepyhead, collaborated on the single “Smoke Signals” by Tessa Violet, and launched a unisex clothing line called Cave Collective.

Live reviews

  • Cavetown

    Cavetown was absolutely amazing. The venue was small, only 200 people, so you could see well no matter where you were standing. The sound was good, lighting was good, no complaints on production. Robin sounds great live & was so sweet to everyone. He thanked people who yelled out compliments, answered questions; I've never seen a performer be so patient & polite.

    I eagerly await his next show in Portland and I highly reccomend seeing him because it was really amazing.

  • Cavetown was probably one of, if not the best concert I’ve been to. Robbie has such a good and wholesome energy, and the crowd was also very chill and had a great vibe. The two openers were great and did a good job warming up the crowd. Robbie’s live vocals are amazing (they are nearly identical to the studio recorded songs) and he genuinely presented himself as a nice and kind person. Overall, I would go again in a heartbeat. I highly suggest you see him!

  • This show was amazing. I created a hearts project for the show it it looked absolutely beautiful in The Sinclair. My only complaint about the show was that I was not aware that the coat check cost money, and that the line outside was awkward and wasn't well placed. The line of people went down the sidewalk and around the corner. If it had been nice weather I'm sure the sidewalk would have been PACKIN. But Cavetown is a lovely artist and made it all worth it.

    Really good vibes and the volume was perfect omg.

    The people were also really nice and ofcourse Cavetown was amazing!! I feel like he really interacted with the public and I love how he plays a lot of instruments himself during the concert.

    It was really fun and I have nothing to complain about.

  • I took my daughter for her 13th birthday and while already a fan, she absolutely LOVED the experience! We thoroughly enjoyed Field Medic and Robin didn't disappoint.

    The venue was very warm and a couple people dropped from the heat because everyone was packed in like sardines.

    All in all though, it was a ton of fun! Thank you Ogden Theatre and Robin for a wonderful experience!

  • It was a really wholesome experience. Robin is soft and friendly and the audience was kind and supportive and the music was amazing live. The opener Field Medic was also a very interesting and wonderful choice!! His music is not what I expected but I grew to love it very quickly. Overall, my partner and I joy-cried several times and I didnt want it to end.

  • Best show I’ve been too so far. The set list was perfectly done, lights were perfect, venue was great. Chloe Moriondo was one of the artists who opened for him and was the best opener I’ve seen. We missed the first opener because of parking/traffic issues but still had an amazing time.

  • It was very nice! He was very very polite the entire show, to the point where he would mumble "Thank you" after every song. I loved every song he played! Also in the corner of the stage there was a TV playing videos of his cat the entire show. 10/10 I loved it!

  • Amazing! The two opening acts were so fun and Cavetown was so much fun as well! He was so sweet with crowd interaction and staff was friendly and helpful with making sure guests were hydrated by giving out water during intermissions.
