Klekolo World Coffee

Robi Polgar is returning to Klekolo for a night packed with clever lyricism, rich harmonies, and roots-infused reinvention.
Recently relocated from Austin’s legendary music scene to Glastonbury, CT, Robi brings a seasoned stage presence and a setlist that spans the classics you love — along with his own mix of protest pieces, modern folk, and tender love songs.
🎸 Think the edge of Elvis Costello blended with the heart of Tom Petty.
🎤 Think the grit of The Clash meeting the storytelling of Paul Simon, all on acoustic.
🎶 Beatles to Billy Bragg, R.E.M. to The Replacements — plus originals that carry the same punch.
Robi is the real deal: a musician with stories to tell, warmth to share, and a deep belief in music’s ability to bring people together. And whether you’re chasing meaning, melody, or just a comforting cup of coffee, he’s got a song that’ll land with you.
