The powerhouse duo of Amy Gallatin and renowned resophonic guitarist Roger Williams–respected veterans of the New England music scene–explore their mutual love of country standards, served up with an acoustic treatment in the bluegrass vein. The result is a toe-tapping blend of heartfelt vocals, soaring harmonies and red-hot picking, traditional yet modern and distinct. The two are enhanced on mandolin and vocals by Roger’s son, Berklee College of Music grad JD, and veteran bassist Bob Dick, formerly of the award-winning bluegrass band Front Range. [more info]
