Rockin’ Robby is BACK in town!!!
Don’t miss your chance to experience Litchfield’s favorite musical son, Robby Robinson, during his much-anticipated, upcoming return, performing LIVE music and broadcasting his nationally acclaimed “Jam’ n Java” podcast LIVE from the Litchfield Museum &amp; Route 66 Welcome Center on Monday, October 5, 2026.
You can catch a rare in-person glimpse of Southern Illinois’ rock-n-roll royalty, when Robby Robinson performs LIVE in concert at 7:00 p.m. CST at the Litchfield Museum &amp; Route 66 Welcome Center, located at 334 Historic Old Route 66 North, in Litchfield, Illinois. 
A LIVE remote of Robby Robinson’s popular music and variety show, “Jam’ n Java”, will be broadcast in-person from the Litchfield Museum &amp; Route 66 Welcome Center beginning at 9:00 p.m. Central, which is 7:00 p.m. Pacific and 10 p.m. Eastern, for those tuning in nationally and globally.
Litchfield native Robby Robinson is a #1 Hyppedit Recording Artist, Hammond® Organ-endorsed keyboard aficionado, longtime Music Director and Member of the Grammy® Award-Winning Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, founding member of The Route 66 Band, founding member of the regionally beloved Robinson Brothers band, former member of the 1970s era Southern Illinois rockers, Patch &amp; Didi, host of the weekly variety show “Jam’ n Java”, and the CEO/Executive Producer at Robby’s Records, one of the hottest genre-defying indie record labels in the country, with over 20 Million Views on YouTube.
Robby’s appearance coincides with Route 66 Miles of Possibility in honor of the 100th Anniversary of “The Mother Road”. 
Route 66 is celebrating its 100th Birthday! This timeless American icon has not only carried travelers from Chicago to California, but has remained a constant source of adventure, mystique, romance, mystery, aesthetic views, mayhem and magic for a full century!
Although the original road is now dotted with detours…dedicated and passionate preservationists have made it their mission to piece everything together…and keep the nostalgia alive for generations to come, thanks to designated Historic Route 66 marker signs, so one can still travel much of the original highway, locate fascinating landmarks along the way, and marvel in the majestic wonder.
No other road in America is quite as prolific as Route 66, which has inspired countless films, television shows, stage plays, documentaries, songs, fiction and non-fiction literature. 
The most recent cover version of the iconic song “(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66” features renowned vocalist Sara Niemietz and Robby Robinson shaking things up with a jazzy, rockin’ reimagined arrangement of the tune, while staying true to the original beloved jukebox classic.
