  Hickory Ridge Concert Series: Bluegrass and Folk Duo - The Gordons   

Hickory Ridge Concert Series: Bluegrass and Folk Duo - The Gordons

  • Location: ISM Dickson Mounds Museum, Lewistown
  • Date: Saturday, October 18, 2014, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Internationally acclaimed Bluegrass and Folk duo The Gordons return to the Hickory Ridge Concert Series on Saturday, October 18, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. at Dickson Mounds Museum. Influenced by the great music of their era, this husband and wife duo were baptized by bluegrass music and have made wonderful folk music ever since.

Accompanied by Gary’s tasteful Gallagher guitar and dobro, Roberta plays the American born Appalachian autoharp. Featuring Gary Gordon on guitar and Roberta Gordon on Autoharp, this award winning duo combines world class bluegrass chops with outstanding vocals on excellent original and traditional music.

The Gordons have been bringing their music to audiences for three decades, touring throughout the Midwest and the Carolinas, playing clubs, fairs, festivals and colleges. Their music is heartfelt, sincere and unique. In 1998 they recorded with dobro great Josh Graves and bluegrass fiddler Kenny Baker, from Bill Monroe's band. The resulting album, Old Time Radio Show, and live concert at Cincinnati's celebrated Old Time Music Hall were considered triumphs by critic and fan alike. The Gordons latest CD, Our Time ranked in the top 10 of the Folk music charts.

The Hickory Ridge Concert Series is supported in part by a grant from the 2 River’s Arts Council, the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
