“"A romance started with us being crazy about each other's songs and music."”
The husband and wife duo of Robin and Jenny Bienemann are both singer-songwriters and instrumentalists.
By turns hilarious and heartfelt, this cutting-edge acoustic duo melds original and traditional music with an elegant hint of jazz. Robin's wild guitar stylings harken back to the earliest forms of jazz, blues and country guitar. Jenny’s voice and guitar playing evokes comparisons to Joni Mitchell and Ricki Lee Jones. Both write songs that are celebrations of modern life in all of its wonderful, strange and hilarious beauty, garnering airplay on National Public Radio, Dr. Demento, and The Midnight Special.

Some concerts celebrate the hits.
Haiku Milieu After Dark celebrates the moment before a song becomes one.
Created by award-winning poet, singer and songwriter Jenny Bienemann, Haiku Milieu After Dark is a one-of-a-kind concert experience in which an extraordinary lineup of songwriters debuts brand-new, never-before-performed songs inspired by her original haiku.
Backed by a world-class band, this concert features sexy songs, heartbreaking songs, songs of desire, love, loss and grief – the things we discuss only after the kids go to bed. Spotlighting the act of creation as a primal force that ignites our passion, restores our humanity and deepens our connections to one another, these concerts feature master songwriters, including:
John Abbey Naomi Ashley and Jon Williams Robin Bienemann John Carpender and Henry Alden Carpender Andon Davis Liam Davis Gerald Dowd Rachel Drew and Peter Joly Klem Hayes Kelli Owens Hutton and Cheryl Tomblin Kara Kesselring and Patrick Williams Stephen Kohler Michael Krayniak Deborah Maris Lader Jon Langford Ron Lazzeretti and Jodi Walker Cathie Menard Chris Neville Nora O'Connor Kean Nikki O'Neill and Rich Lackowski Fred Simon Scott Tipping Terry White
