Robbie Limon of Middletown, Virginia is an award-winning entertainer who mixes solo and band appearances with acting/singing roles at professional theaters.
Since 2002 Robbie has been backed by great musicains on lead guitar, bass, keyboards and drums. The addition of Hank Zimmerman(keyboards) and Paul Moschetto(lead guitar) to compliment drummer Kevin Archambault and bass man Ken Wissmann has broadened the versatility of the band with tight harmonies and lead vocals. The full band is commited to sounding like the original 50′s, 60′s, and 70′s recording which made them so popular.
Currently, Robbie plays over 200 dates a year. Robbie has been on the bandstand for over thirty years and brings his love of `70s-era songwriters to each performance. The result is an eclectic mix of the Eagles, John Denver, Gordon Lightfoot, Credence Clearwater Revival, Roy Orbison, The Doobie Brothers, Jim Croce, Willie Nelson, and several others. Listeners report that the song arrangements and voice characterizations are exactly what is recalled from the original recordings.
Robbie’s ability to copy the tonal qualities and phrasings of other vocalists led to his role as Hank Williams, Sr. in 40 performances at the Wayside Theater near Winchester, Virginia. The 2005 Chiquita Award was given by M. Lawrence of The American Theater Critics Association for Robbie’s portrayal of Country Music’s first superstar.
In 2006 Robbie co-wrote ‘Lovesick Blues’ a musical theater tribute to Hank Williams, Sr. featuring an on-stage country band and twenty songs closely identified with this legendary performer. The Narrator weaves Williams’ life events with the songs they inspired. Robbie currently performs as Hank Williams in theatres around the country. The website lovesickbluestribute.com contains pictures, audio samples, and additional information from the show. Local performances may be arranged directly with Robbie at (301) 263-4356
In 2007, Robbie returned to The Wayside Theater in the title role of ‘Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story’.

Each of 43 performances received very enthusiastic standing ovations.

Robbie we first saw your band outside at the Brew Pub last summer. Have been fans ever since. Seen you at the Pub and IJ Canns several times. Saw both the Hank Williams and the Buddy Holly Special. OUSTANDING, every enjoyable evening. Your whole band seems to have a great time entertaining the crowd. You can look for me out there again very soon always try to sit up front, the old guy with gray hair, most of the time with a group of 8 or 10. I saw a comment on a Johnny Cash Special, do you have a special scheduled anytime soon?
Thanks for a fun evening at the Hagerstown Elks. Hope you are back in the area soon. Great mix of music 50′s-70′s and a lot of songs we could swing dance too.
Hope to see you soon.

Heart you last night at Griffin Tavern. You are at the same level as Vegas or at least Atlantic City acts prior to making it big. I am saying this just based on your Johnny Cash act, let alone you got a wide range that shows a great amount of talent.-Tony
My family and I are still talking about how much we enjoyed your band at the Totem Pole Playhouse fundraiser earlier this month! In fact, Cassidy (perhaps your youngest fan at 7!) keeps asking me when we are going to Virginia to see The Robbie Limon Band!! My daughter overheard a conversation between some of the kids, and when asked about favorite singer, favorite band, etc, Cassidy said that The Robbie Limon Band was her favorite! Love it. Hope to see you all soon! :-)
(also fun to see Hank and Laura!)
Robbie,
I want you to know how much Gene and I enjoyed your concert at Marker Miller Orchard in Frederick County.
I was hoping to tell you this at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley Concert but things were too busy. That was another fabulous evening also with your Great Band.
I had been waiting for such a day at Marker Miller, when summer is telling us she is leaving. I am not a warm weather person, so I was loving the cool day.
The skies were such a beautiful clear blue and the wind was cleansing and fresh. I didn’t think it could have been better…. and then you topped it off with your talent.
I know how much people enjoy your music but with everyone shopping and watching their children, I was thinking you could have felt like you were being overlooked.
I know you are aware of the effect of music and how it can change our thoughts and moods. People like to connect with another time as you bring those songs back to life. ( Perfectly done, I might add )
You gave us wonderful new memories with that day.
I am sure you live a tough schedule but I hope you never get tired of what you do.
It is your genuine love of playing and singing that comes through and splashes out on others.
We felt like you were giving a personal concert just for us.
Thanks again,
I saw your show at the skating rink in Percelville,and your show atMiddletown theater.
They were awesome! Best wishes , John Sanger
Will see you at G W hotel ,in Winchester .
Move over Patsy Cline…
I had a great time at the Totem Pole fund raiser yesterday. Your concert was wonderful. I love 70s music. I have previously enjoyed you as Hank Williams, Buddy Holly and in that other play, was it called Southern Crossroads. Glad to meet you yesterday and get a signed CD.
Had a wonderful evening last night at the Music in the Gardens at the Shenandoah Valley Museum. When Robbie performs the songs that were so much a part of our lives growing up, it brings back warm and happy feelings. Thank you for a great time!
Love your music, it really calmed me and made me realize how rushed and hurried we can be in life. Starting my week relaxed after a great performance by you on saturday in Leesburg. Thanks and keep singing, becuase;
‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend – without a song.’ So I keep singing a song.” elvis
Thanks for the great performance at Regency Dominion Valley. We enjoyed it and will plan to see you again.
We attended the June 30th show at Wayside, Lost Highway, and what a performance. It was so much more than the reviews in our local newspaper, what a show. When “Hank” sang it was like being there with him, all the great songs he recorded. Again, it was just wonderful and glad we were able to see the last show. Keep up the good work…..
Robbie,
I sat and listened to you perform(for quite awhile) last Sunday at Matthew’s party. Last evening we were at Wayside and thoroughly enjoyed Lost Highway and a few years ago I was transported back to my youth(which was before the Earth cooled) as you became-for me-Buddy Holly.
You are an incredibly talented man and I for one am very glad to see you perform and will continue to seek you out when you perform.
Well done and keep it up(if you can-phew).
We enjoy each of your shows, and can’t wait for the next one! Including driving to Pa, for another awsome Buddy Holly show. Loved Sunday’s Hank Williams. Look forward to seeing u at local Wineries. Thanks, for the music, and great show.
Your next An Evening W/ Buddy Holly?
