Their s tirring concerts have earned them a huge body of fans over the years. But as gifted songwriters Robin and Linda have earned an even rarer honor\, th e devotion and deep respect of their musical peers. As The Washington Post put it\, “The Williamses are able to sum up a life in a few details with moving completeness.” The list of artists who have covered their original songs include some of the greats of country music\, names like Emmy Lou Ha rris\, Tom T.Hall\, George Hamilton IV\, Tim & Mollie O’Brien\, Mary Chapi n Carpenter\, Kathy Mattea and The Seldom Scene. One of their most request ed songs\, “Don’t Let Me Come a Stranger\,” has been recorded by the well- known Irish singer\, Mary Black.

nger\, songwriter and guitarist who combines witty\, well-crafted songs wi
th deft fingerstyle and flatpick guitar playing. His performances have bee
n compared to those of legends like Leo Kottke\, John Hartford\, and David
Bromberg for their mix of virtuosity and playfulness and his songs have b
een compared to those of writers\, Bob Dylan and John Prine for their humo
r\, introspection and philosophical nature.
\nHis 5th record\, Motiva
tional Speakeasy\, released last September\, features only Jordan\, his vo
ice and his guitar. It was produced by Kenneth Pattengale of the Milk Cart
on Kids and has been garnering rave reviews from outlets such as NPR Music
\, PopMatters\, American Songwriter\, and No Depression. From the classic
Mississippi John Hurt style melodic blues of “Matter of Time” and “Goin on
Down”\, to the dissonant Tom Waits-like shuffle of “Creation’s Done” to t
he philosophical early Dylanesque chatter of “Walkin'” and “Where I’m At”\
, Tice spins his influences into a variety of highly personal\, well-craft
ed songs. In addition\, the album contains 3 instrumental tracks where Tic
e showcases his narrative guitar-playing and composing with performances t
hat range from British Isles inspired whistlefulness (“Stratford Waltz”) t
o quirky ragtime (“Bachelorette Party”\, “Ghost Story”).
\nFolk fans
might recognize Jordan Tice as a member of the instrumental bluegrass supe
rgroup\, Hawktail as well as his sideman work with many other artists in t
he folk/bluegrass genre such as Dave Rawlings\, Andrew Marlin (Mandolin Or

Traditio nal music is not static\; it shifts with the times\, uncovering new meanin gs in old words\, new ways of talking about the communal pathways that led us to where we are today. For master musicians Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves\, traditional banjo and fiddle music is a way to interpret our uncertain times\, to draw artistic inspiration and power from the sources of meaning in their lives. History\, family\, literature\, live performan ce\, and environmental instability all manifest in the sounds\, feelings\, and sensations that permeate their music. Their 2022 sophomore album\, Hu rricane Clarice is a direct infusion of centuries of matrilineal folk wisd om\, a fiery breath of apocalyptic energy.
\nAllison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves are both l eaders in the young generation of roots musicians\, de Groot being known f or intricate clawhammer banjo work with Bruce Molsky\, and Hargreaves brin ging powerhouse fiddling to the stage with Laurie Lewis and David Rawlings in addition to teaching bluegrass fiddle at UNC-Chapel Hill. Their first self-titled album released in 2019 garnered attention from CBC Q\, Paste M agazine and Rolling Stone Country\, earning the duo the Independent Music Awards “Best Bluegrass Album” and a nomination from IBMA for “Best Liner N otes of the Year.” The duo has been booked at festivals and venues such as Newport Folk Festival\, Savannah Music Festival\, Winnipeg Folk Festival\ , the Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh\, NC\, and Red Wing Roots Music Fest ival. Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves create a sound that is adventu rous\, masterful\, and original\, as they expand on the eccentricities of old songs\, while never losing sight of what makes them endure.
