Robin & Linda Williams at Three Crows Monday

Folk veterans and Red House Records' artists, Robin & Linda Williams and Their Fine Group 
will be performing Monday, March 31, 7 p.m. 
At Three Crows Coffee House, 225 N. River St. Delano.

For tickets and more show information:  763-972-3399 or www.thethreecrows.com
 The evening begins at 7:30 pm and
promises a hearty serving of the duo's signature country, bluegrass,
and humorous story-telling that has made them one of the most popular
groups on the folk circuit today.  
Robin and Linda are touring in
support of their new album, Radio Songs on Red House.  The record is a
long-awaited collection of songs from their last twenty years on
Garrison Keillor's popular radio show A Prairie Home Companion.  For
tickets and more show information call 763-972-3399 or visit
http://www.thethreecrows.com.

 Culled from their on-air appearances over the last 20 years, Radio
Songs features 19 standout songs handpicked by Robin & Linda that
showcase their signature blend of bluegrass, gospel, folk and old-time
country. 
This satisfying collection includes original favorites and
covers of songs by some of their songwriting heroes—The Carter Family,
Jimmie Rodgers, Charlie Poole and Lefty Frizzell.  Digging deep into
their catalog, Robin & Linda's selections include songs that date back
to their 1977 release ("Restless One") to songs never before recorded,
like the often requested "50,000 Names," which was originally worked
up for a special Memorial Day show.  
Other highlights include the
down-home country tune "Things I've Learned," the nostalgic World War
II-era song "We'll Meet Again" and the comedic radio advertisement for
"Marvin & Mavis Smiley – Down Home Diva."  Showcasing the duo's humor,
warmth and raucous roadhouse sensibilities, Radio Songs is a unique
retrospective of one of the most enduring and energetic musical acts
of the last few decades.
