The Comforters are an American acoustic pop duo. Pia and Jason Robbins write warm and inviting songs that combine the rich story telling of roots and folk music paired with pop sensibilities and melodies.

The Comforters’s songwriting atmosphere: “A piano, an acoustic guitar, and lots of trees.” “Yeah, there’s definitely something about the pacific northwest,” adds Jason, “that really lends itself to creativity …it’s a very liberating setting.”
“We worked hard on crafting a record that has a unified sound”, says Jason, “even if we wander around stylistically. With Pia – you know, she has such a beautiful voice that communicates so much, that it’s just painting around that with sounds and textures.” The irony is that, while on the surface there is an air of tranquility and endless calm to the album, the songs reveal an unsettling dead-calm that is the backdrop to affairs, depression, heartbreak, alienation and yes, some negative things as well.
The Comforters have quickly found ears tuned to the bittersweet in life. Their songs are receiving airplay on several radio programs across the U.S and in Europe. The Comforters will be touring the west coast this summer (San Diego to Seattle) in support of Transplants

We need a song about the snow after this week's blanketing in the Northwest. I'm sure the Comforters are already on it as they are definitely connected to place. For now, I listen to Reasons, and it will do.

Lucy is a haunting sound that plays in my head day and night. This is a whole story about being obsessed and lost, about looking for love and being filled with sadness and loneliness, the guitar weeping and a dirge sound right behind you, wailing with your heart.

The Comforters create a mood without gimmicks. The pure, unadulterated lyrics touch your soul. Every song tells a story that we all have lived.
