Elisabeth and Lon Williamson

Down South

Heaven With You

If you took all the guitar strings Elisabeth Williamson has been through over the years, and set them end to end, they would reach from St. Augustine to San Francisco. She's thirty-five years "Deep" into a professional career. Over three thousand gigs. A repertoire the size of a small town phone book. Hundreds of music festivals. A player and lead singer in bluegrass bands, country bands, folk trios, madrigals and jazz ensembles. Plugging in at honkytonks, wine bars, churches and barns, gourmet restaurants and rodeos around the country. Singing at funerals and weddings and christenings, anniversaries, fund-raisers and hayrides.

But never a record. Never a "Folks, here's one I wrote myself."

Until now. And she delivers "Deep"

Perhaps there has never been a debut record of originals by any artist who has wood-shedded so long, who has spent this much time honing their craft, selecting their thoughts and words, tuning and crafting and raising the bar.

The Water Is wide / La Mer Est Immense

Meet Me In new Orleans

Lee Hunter is a singer, an award winning songwriter, rhythm guitarist, percussionist and pianist with a passion for American roots music and folklore. From 1992-2014, she worked with guitarist Arvid Smith as the critically acclaimed duo, Tammerlin. What you heard was exceptional guitar work accompanying clever original songs and traditional tunes pulled from the roots of American music.

Hunter is now pursuing her own musical path. Still passionate for the stories this music conveys, she is continuing and building on the sonic history of Tammerlin while exploring new directions and new collaborations with a diverse group of artists-singer-songwriters, symphony players, actors and writers.

She recently created a chamber work of music and spoken word for the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens in Jacksonville, FL along with Charlotte Mabrey, percussionist and Associate Professor of Music at the University of North Florida and Philip Pan, concert master for the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. Hunter’s focus continues to be on performing and writing songs in the Americana genre. She and Walter Parks, longtime guitarist for Richie Havens and a fine songwriter and solo performer, were asked to open a show for Emmylou Harris this past summer. Her management was so impressed that Walter and Lee were asked to open some additional shows for her. Hunter and Parks plan to continue to work together from time to time. She’s also teamed up with Joey Kerr, an excellent guitarist and mandolin player and a fine songwriter in his own right. They plan to work together on many performances.

In addition to her regular concert performance, Hunter offers educational music programs for students and two special concerts of music and spoken word-a holiday program,“Wintersong-A Celebration of the Winter Season” and “Civil War & Seafaring Songs”.

Meet Me In new Orleans

Don't Think Twice, It's Allright / N'y Pense Plus Tout Est Bien

We met Arvid Smith and Lee Hunter at Gail and Tom Watts many years ago. We were on tour, and they were playing at  Merlefest (North Carolina) as Tammerlin.

Tammerlin does not play any longer, but friendship staid. Arvid came twice in France to play with us, and we joined him in Florida for gigs many times.

He's a talented guitarist reputed in Jacksonville, where he lives, in Florida, and abroad. He's considered in The city of Jacksonville as one of the major local musicians. He played in many bands, and lately he has been playing in "Canary in the coalmine". He plays electric and acoustic guitar, dobro, and indian sithar. He spends his time between gigs, recording, teaching and creating.

He grew up with the Beatles, and he kept the taste of exploring sounds and harmonies. In traditional american music, as well as in blues, rock or indian music Arvid is a source of great ideas. And he is a friend.

Marie Béney drawings

rmarie ailroad dessinOne day, on the way back from a gig, we rode a long time with a young passenger who was drawing everything she was seeing. Looking at his works, we thought "she's very talented, we'd love to share her enthusiasm, let's keep in touch". The passenger was Marie Béney. She was 18 and was drawing since she could hold a pencil. She has been learning fine arts for 3 years in Nantes, Quimper and she keeps on learning graphism in Paris. On the side, she's been learning fiddle for 8 years and she now begins to play guitar.

« The project I worked on with the Hoboes and their designer, Jocelyn Lecocq has been my first professional job. I hope I'll be able to meet such a fine team soon.» Marie
