Tim Robbins may be an Oscar winner, but that hasn’t quenched his longing to create music. After writing music for more than 20 years, Robbins has recorded a collection of songs for his self-titled debut.

“This is something I always wanted to do,” Robbins said just before the start of his tour. “I had been [creating music] under the radar but I had never done an album. I never felt like I had a complete album or story to tell.”
