Bluegrass at Odd Fellows Hall


April 24, 2012 · Updated 11:53 AM 

One year ago Nell Robinson performed her special “Sparkly” Bluegrass magic on varied stages and locations in the Pacific Northwest. This April she returns to Washington and it’s island environs to deliver another round of smokin’ entertainment.

Robinson will perform with award-winning guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Jim Nunally on Sunday, April 29, 7 p.m. at the Odd Fellows Hall. Admission is $10.

Nunally has toured extensively with the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience and John Reischman. He is the recipient of two Grammy award certificates and two International Bluegrass Music Association awards. He is also a two-time Western Open Masterpicking Champion and Guitar Champion.

Robinson and Nunally’s concerts will include well-loved songs from her debut and sophomore CDs “Loango” and “On the Brooklyn Road.” This harmony-driven duo’s musical style is reminiscent of classic country duets like George Jones and Tammy Wynette as well as singing siblings like the Louvin and Stanley Brothers.

Robinson’s music with Nunally and her All-Star Band has been hailed as “deeply powerful, startlingly post-millennial. A timeless, sepia-toned world at the intersection of bluegrass, country, folk, and Americana. Highly recommended,” said Joshua Farber for the blog “Cover Lay Down.”
