Wil Maring and virtuose guitarist and fiddler Robert Bowlin have been recently combining talents to create beautiful original acoustic music which straddles the fence between bluegrass, folk and country music. Wil’s beautiful airy vocal style and heartfelt lyrics have raised the eyebrows of the acoustic music world in recent years with the release of her three solo cds and four band cds with her band Shady Mix. Robert, a two-time National Fingerpicking and Flatpicking Guitar contest winner, has been a band member with legendary artists like Bill Monroe, Maura O Connell, Kathy Mattea, the Osborne Brothers, and many more. Their music will leave audiences spellbound long after the show is over. For bigger venues, Wil sometimes appears with whole band, Shady Mix, which includes an instrumental lineup of upright bass, fiddle, mandolin, and sometimes banjo.
Wil Maring is a fantastic singer/song writer. She has a quality in her voice that grabs the attention of her listeners and makes them hold on til the last word is sung. She also has a wonderful sense of humor that is seen in her performances. I am a devoted fan of Wil's and can't wait to see her in concert again.
