Robin & Linda Williams 2012

Robin and Linda Williams and Their Fine Group will appear in concert at the Endicott Performing Arts Center located at 102 Washington Ave, Endicott NY, on Friday, February 24 at 8:00 PM. Tickets are available at the Endicott Performing Arts Center for  $22.50. All seats are reserved. 

 

Robin and Linda Williams, the Virginia-based duo known for their rich harmonies and original songwriting, are joined in concert by Jim Watson, a founding member of the Red Clay Ramblers, on bass and his distinctive harmony vocals. The fourth seat rotates between mandolin, fiddle and dobro and is filled by either Jimmy Gaudreau, Chris Brashear, Kevin Maul, or Tony Williamson..

 

For over three decades, Robin & Linda Williams have made it their mission to perform the music that they love, "a robust blend of bluegrass, folk, old-time and acoustic country that combines wryly observant lyrics with a wide-ranging melodicism." Today some might call it "Americana," but these two revered music masters were living and breathing this elixir 20 years before that label was turned into a radio format. As live performers they are second to none. Their stirring concerts have earned them a huge body of fans over the years. But as gifted songwriters, Robin and Linda have earned an even more rare honor — the devotion and deep respect of their musical peers. The list of artists who have covered their original songs include some of the greats of country music, names like Emmylou Harris, Tom T. Hall, Tim & Mollie O'Brien, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kathy Mattea and Mary Black. It is no wonder that their writing has garnered rave reviews from the likes of Billboard, USA Today, CMT and The Washington Post.

 

Robin and Linda Williams have gained recognition from a variety of sources, winning a nomination from their colleagues at the International Bluegrass Music Association for Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year 1995’s Good News.  In 1998 they received a Crossroads’ Music  Gold Star Award for the best Contemporary Folk CD of 1998, and listed in the top 10 Albums Of The Year. (Devil of a Dream).  They have appeared on The Grand Ole Opry,  Austin City Limits, American Mountain Stage,  Music City Tonight, and have enjoyed the rejuvenation of The Hopeful Gospel Quartet on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion.  They have performed in venues ranging from Philadelphia and Kerrville folk Festivals, to bluegrass-oriented festivals such as Winterhawk, Wings & Strings and the Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival, to arts centers and concert halls in dozens of states and countless clubs and coffeehouses, not only across the US, but in Canada and Europe as well.
