Robin & Linda Williams and Their Fine Group Perform at JCC Oct. 16
Music enthusiasts will be treated to a performance by Robin and Linda Williams and Their Fine Group at 7:30 p.m. on October 16 in the Sturtz Theater at Jefferson Community College (JCC). The show promises a delightful repertoire of bluegrass, folk, old-time and acoustic country tunes.
The husband and wife team have been performing together and recording albums for 32 years. Their first album was released in 1975, the same year they debuted on public radio. They are nationally-known for their role as half of The Hopeful Gospel Quartet on Garrison Keillor's "A Prairie Home Companion." The duo has performed on stage at the Grand Ole Opry, Austin City Limits, and at countless clubs, festivals and other venues across the country. Accomplished songwriters as well, Robin and Linda’s compositions have been recorded by Emmylou Harris, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Tom T. Hall, and Kathy Mattea, among others.
Their Fine Group includes former Red Clay Rambler Jim Watson on bass and either Jimmy Gaudreau, Tom Corbett or Tommy Williamson on mandolin.
