As Wil Maring sat for long summer hours as a teenager at her family's roadside vegetable stand picking out self-made tunes on her Sears guitar to pass the time she never dreamed of the path she would one day follow. Wil has become a highly acclaimed songwriter a previous winner of the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at Merlefest and a finalist in the 2007 Kerrville New Folk competition and has appeared on the Grand Ole Opry with her original music in addition to touring extensively in Europe and Japan. She honed her songwriting skills playing music professionally in Europe with her group Shady Mix.
<p>
Wil Maring and virtuose guitarist and fiddler Robert Bowlin have been recently combining talents to create beautiful original acoustic music which straddles the fence between bluegrass folk and country music. Wil’s beautiful airy vocal style and heartfelt lyrics have raised the eyebrows of the acoustic music world in recent years with the release of her three solo cds and four band cds with her band Shady Mix. Robert a two-time National Fingerpicking and Flatpicking Guitar contest winner has been a band member with legendary artists like Bill Monroe Maura O Connell, Kathy Mattea, the Osborne Brothers, and many more. Their music will leave audiences spellbound long after the show is over. For bigger venues Wil sometimes appears with whole band Shady Mix, which includes instrumental lineup of upright bass fiddle, mandolin, and sometimes banjo.
<p>
As Dave Higgs respected host of Nashville Public Radio's nationally syndicated bluegrass program describes the performance: "Absolutely hands-down some of the most mesmerizing exciting, interesting and enjoyable acoustic music I have ever heard. Wil's songs are just in a league of their own and the picking.... the interplay between (the musicians) is simply astonishing. Not clones -- but an inspired group with a different message. I love it!"
