Cartersville resident Donna Robinson is perhaps best known as drummer with Pawn Shop Pickers.



Donna Robinson was one of the very first women to make a living as a drummer back in the 1970s. Donna: "Today there are quite a few great female drummers, but back in the 1970s this was not only unusual, it was highly controversial. I often caught flak from men who thought there was no way a woman could play the drums."



Also an accomplished songwriter, Donna Robinson has recorded many career highlights over the past 38 years, some of which include being inducted into the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame in 2011, playing at the Grand Ole Opry, seeing her song recently hit No. 1 on the CMG Global Radio Network, and performing shows with George Jones, Ronnie Milsap, Barbara Mandrell and Alabama.



In August 2014 Donna Robinson captured the Entertainer of the Year accolade during the Atlanta Society of Entertainers' 40th annual awards show.
