'Naming the Twins' Returns to Sandywoods

The act brought the house down a year ago, and now they're coming back for an encore.

TIVERTON, RI— "Naming the Twins," a Nova Scotia based, harmony rich guy-gal duo of Robbie Smith and Kath Glauser, sound like this "a bit like Simon & Garfunkel, if Art was a girl, a bit like Peter, Paul & Mary, if one of the boys was taking the night off," according to Sandywoods, where they'll be appearing on Saturday.

Their original material maintains the tradition of Ian & Sylvia, Gordon Lightfoot and Stan Rogers.

"When they played here about a year ago, we enjoyed a full house of dedicated and enthusiastic fans who were swept away by the wonderful harmonies and the great energy," the arts center spokeswoman said.

"Robbie Smith has been a songwriter, singer and player of instruments all his life. From an early age, through the windows of his scenic home outside Shelburne Nova Scotia, his imagination took flight gathering scenes and circumstances which flowed back through his pen and onto the page.

"His truly inspired lyrics capture the essence of life lived by and on the sea and the attention of Roger Whitaker who recorded four of Smith’s songs. Robbie has also shared the stage with Pete Seeger and John Allan Cameron and recorded several albums of his own.

"In 2008, after years of being a solo artist, Robbie was taken with the voice of an acquaintance and knew he had found his vocal soul mate – a special blend that some performers never find.

"Kath Glauser brings her clear engaging voice and vocal harmonies to the duo to breathe life into those lyrics…she’s a natural with a great sense of harmony and timing.
