About this Event
Robin and Linda Williams Come "Home for the Holidays" Concert @ The Blackburn - Friday December 20th
Superstar folk musicians Robin and Linda Williams bring the beautiful tunes and homespun wisdom that made them regulars on Prairie Home Companion for 41 years back to The Blackburn Inn and Conference Center’s Great Hall for a special one-night-only holiday homecoming performance.
Don’t miss your opportunity to hear the Shenandoah Valley’s King and Queen of Country offering songs old and new that celebrate the season.
“…The Williamses are able to sum up a life in a few details with moving completeness." - The Washington Post
“…Vocally and instrumentally, the Williamses combine impeccable musical discipline with a bare simplicity and an utter lack of pretension." - The New York Times
Robin and Linda Williams have developed throughout their performing career a unique collection of Holiday and seasonal songs. “Robin and Linda’s Holiday Christmas Spectacular” is full of harmonies and humor, carols (rare and not so rare), songs from favorite contemporary songwriters, and their own compositions drawing on childhood memories and their many Christmases together. It’s an evening that is intimate, poignant, and fun.
Along with their original songs Robin and Linda include distinctive renditions of traditional Holiday material and those from other songwriters like Steve Earle, John Prine, and Joni Mitchell, all beautifully played and sung. To this, they add their charming stories, and the result is a joyous evening that puts even the Scrooges of the world in the spirit of the season. They have released a Holiday CD, “The First Christmas Gift,” on Red House Records.
