PRESS RELEASE

I'd like to sincerely apologize to the fans of Ed Robinson with respect to him not showing up at Lorna's, 126-19 Merrick Blvd., Queens, NY for the show billed with John Holt. (Sat 17,2009)

Ed did not mean to disappoint his fans, whose support he truly values. This is not the behavior of Ed Robinson, as he is totally offended and this has infringed tremendously on his hard won reputation and his image of honesty and the genuine respect he has earned from each and everyone of you over the years.

This has been the fifth time for the month that promoters has falsely advertised Ed Robinson. These promoters continue to use the "bait-and-switch" form of adverstisement. That is without the prior permission or binding contract with the advertised artist, including Ed. Certain promoters through printed media and radio spots claim that seasoned and respected artist are booked to perform at certain venues to underhandly draw upon their fan base. Ed has battled this behavior in the past and will continue to do so to protect his name, catalog and reputation.

Again, please accept Ed's apologies. In the interim, Ed's management has sought legal counsel to determine how to prevent future occurrences.
