For more than a quarter of a century the duo has delighted audiences large and small with a thoughtful yet heartfelt blend of bluegrass, folk, old-time and acoustic country that truly merits the title of "American music." Robin and Linda's current CD, Visions Of Love, stayed on the Americana Charts soon after its release January, 2002 and was rated in the top five of both the Folk and Bluegrass charts on Roots Music Report.

Respectful of, but never imprisoned by tradition, Robin and Linda Williams have gained recognition from a stunning variety of sources, winning a nomination from their colleagues from the International Bluegrass Music Association for "Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year" (1995's Good News) and a 1998 Crossroads Music Award from the prestigious folk music organization.

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.

Anchoring the Fine Group is long time bassist and mandolinists Jim Watson. Jim was a founding member of The Red Clay Ramblers in the early 1970's. He performed with the Ramblers for 14 years and recorded 9 albums on Folkways, Flying Fish and Sugar Hill. Watson also performs with Duke LaCrosse and Pinky Wyoming and plays string bass with the bluegrass band, Green Level Entertainers.

Also with the band is one of the premier mandolinists in Bluegrass music, Jimmy Gaudreau. He first came on the scene in 1969 when he was selected to take the place of John Duffy as the mandolin player/tenor singer in the Country Gentlemen. Jimmy has also played with J.D. Crowe, The Tony Rice Unit, Chesapeake and Aldridge, Bennett and Gaudreau.

Robin and Linda are real road warriors and they love to entertain. There's no one asleep at the wheel here -- they offer a night of harmonies, humor and fine picking that's hard to beat.
