Robinson Brothers Homecoming Concert set for November 8
October 08, 2025
In honor of HSHS St. Francis Hospital’s 150th Anniversary, the HSHS St. Francis Foundation is hosting the Robinson Brothers Concert IV on Saturday, Nov. 8 at W.D. Kilton Performing Arts Center at1100 N. Old Route 66, Litchfield.
The theme of this event is “50 Years with Frankie Valli: Memories & Music.” The Robinson Brothers, Robby and Rex, two of central Illinois’ rock ‘n’ roll legends, return to their native Litchfield accompanied by fellow Litchfield native Chuck Wilson and the Frankie Valli Alumni Band. Doors will open at 7 p.m., with the concert starting at 7:30 p.m.
Robby Robinson said, "This is not just another tribute show. This is the real band, the alumni who shared the stage with Frankie Valli for decades. For Rex and I, our hearts will always be in our hometown of Litchfield. We are excited to have Dominic Scaglione Jr. join us, who starred as Frankie Valli in the Broadway, Chicago and Las Vegas productions of ‘Jersey Boys.’ This is an event you won't want to miss!"
Program Manager of Philanthropy Paula Endress said, “This will truly be ‘Oh, what a night’ with Frankie Valli’s music and stories with the band that lived it. It will be an evening of live music, personal stories and multimedia elements, creating an experience that is more than a concert. We are honored that Robby and Rex are returning home again to graciously benefit our hospital. Their music and generosity are an inspiration to the families in this area who will benefit from this event.”
