Join us for a LAWN CONCERT on Wednesday, August 6th featuring ‘Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters’ at the Hicks-Stearns Museum, 42 Tolland Green in Tolland, CT.
There’s a new album! Homespun II, From the Heart is Amy Gallatin and Roger Williams’ second installment in the Homespun duet series, which began as a “shutdown project” during COVID, as Amy and Roger looked to continue their musical creativity in the absence of performing opportunities. The project became an occasion for the pair to record songs that, for one reason or another, had not made it onto their previous four albums together, and the relaxed recording schedule gave them the space to explore their musical roots over time.
While the original Homespun is pretty much a straight-up traditional country album, this new release evokes more understated elements in exploring aspects of love and affection in the “brother duet” style, with songwriters as diverse as the Louvin Bros, Jamie O’Hara and the Civil Wars. Most of these songs were actually recorded in the first Homespun session, but there are some recently-recorded selections, one a rollicking Roger Miller tune that has been getting great response at their live shows, and Who Are You Redbird, a meditative reflection on the appearance of certain birds as visitations from departed loved ones--a tradition enshrined in many belief systems. Roger’s son JD Williams adds solid mandolin to the project
The Museum gates open at 6:00 p.m. and the concert runs from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m.
