Sorry I haven't posted much of late. There's just too darn much great live music around these parts recently. Over the 4th of July Wil Maring and Robert Bowlin played at River Front Rendezvous in Stevens Point, WI. The weather was perfect. A breeze blew off the Wisconsin River through the open doors of the 125 year old grist mill, cooling the crowd of a hundred plus appreciative listeners.
My agency helped sponsor the show, so I didn't feel bad about grabbing the stage-front spool table with friends. Wil and Robert played two hours with only one short intermission. Two of my favorite songs were "bookends" of sorts for the concert, with Keeper of the Farm early on, and Bottomlands at the end of the performance.
After the show Wil and Robert joined us for a few cold Point Specials and we all were entertained by a Bill Monroe style bluegrass band. A good time was had by all. If you've never heard Wil and Robert you are just not treating your ears properly. You can find them at http://www.wilmaring.com/

you should look into traveling to LaCrosse for the Great River Folk Fest the weekend before Labor Day... we can break bread with each other... they have a great line up this year.

Seeing the good folks of Stevens Point mesmerized by the lyrics, the vocals, the musicianship and whole dang show was wonderful! We already knew we'd love them, of course! - Eileen
