AMY GALLATIN AT NORTHWEST PARK

The Friends of Northwest Park welcome the return of Amy Gallatin and Stillwaters to their 20th concert season, on Saturday, April 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Northwest Park Nature Center in Windsor, Ct.

The powerhouse duo of Amy Gallatin and renowned resophonic guitarist Roger Williams—20 and 40 year veterans of the New England music scene--joined forces a few years ago to 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.

Americana radio host Ed McKeon says: "Amy's vocals, with the power and tone of her voice, are tempered by Rogers' baritone which has been sanded smooth by cigarettes and, shall we say, maturity. The song selections are perfect, the harmonies glorious, the sentiments wonderfully maudlin (like any good old country song)."

The two are enhanced on mandolin and vocals by Rogers' son, Berklee College of Music student JD, who--in the time-honored tradition of musical consanguinity complements his father's style perfectly-and by veteran bassist Eric Levenson, formerly with Joe Val and the New England Bluegrass Boys and later with Boston City Limits.

Northwest Park Nature Center is a alcohol-free, handicap accessible facility located in Windsor, Connecticut. Proceeds benefit the Gordon Taylor Educational Fund for environmental education at the Park. For information call 860-285-1886 or visit our web site at www.northwestpark.org.
