The band’s upcoming album Bear With Us is a collection of ten original songs drawing on such hard hitting subject matters as dementia, homelessness and narcissistic abuse, whilst still managing to produce soaring choruses, catchy lyrics and the ever present award-winning sound of Sarah’s saxophone solos. Bear With Us is an extremely full sounding album from two highly skilled multi-instrumentalists and straddles multiple genres. This album is a triumph to positive thinking and a further development of the bands signature sound.
Red Dirt Skinners won countless awards in the UK and spanned several genres before capturing the attention of the Canadian music press in 2015.
Within just 2 years of their first ever tour of Canada, the Skinners were invited by Canadian Immigration to become permanent residents under the “Performers of a World Class Level” category. Rob and Sarah Skinner were thrilled and honoured and accepted the offer immediately, turning their world upside down in what has turned out to be an extremely positive decision both personally and professionally.
With male and female harmonies blending together as one voice and Sarah’s trademark soprano saxophone solos, you will be swept along by the refreshingly different sound of the Red Dirt Skinners.
If you like songs influenced by Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Queen, David Bowie coupled with some epic storytelling, humour and heartfelt emotions, you'll love the Red Dirt Skinners
Lyrics
Behind these eyes I’m feeling lost without you Behind these tears Chances I’ve missed to see you
Under this mask Is a hope that we’ll be together Be together Together soon
There are cobwebs in my suitcase All our dreams are put on hold I have so much more to give you Before I get too old Playing concert halls And curtain calls Is where I thought I’d be A life on pause It seems to fall To play to These four walls
Behind closed doors We still have to wait a while Upon this face You see my bravest smile
Under these lights Is a hope we can shine together Shine together Together soon
