About This Show

Acclaimed indie-folk-rock band Eddie From Ohio’s Robbie Schaefer has crafted a touching and funny world premiere musical portrait featuring Bobby Smith.

A master storyteller, Robbie journeys from his childhood in India to the joys and struggles of growing up, pursuing his passion, and raising a family. Entwined throughout is his cherished relationship with his father —
and his father’s haunted past. Enriched with beautiful folk-rock music, inventive lyrics, and Robbie’s disarming humor, Light Years is a deeply personal tale of immigration, musical gifts, and the steadfast bond between father and son.
