Write a commentAnother great season of national level performers is underway this fall at the Oswego Music Hall when the bluegrass sound of Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters takes to the national stage on Saturday October 5.
The venue is the McCrobie Civic Center, 41 Lake Street in Oswego. Show time is 7:30; doors open 7:00PM.
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. Find more information on the web at http://amygallatin.com/.
"Amy's vocals, with the power and tone of her voice, are tempered by Roger's 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)," Americana radio host Ed McKeon.
