Willison Roos brings a dynamic acoustic sound to the stage. An energetic and vibrant mix of original and cover tunes are brought to life thru the rich harmonies of Jenny Willison and Matt Roos.
Jenny Willison, singer-songwriter, completed “First Step,” a collection of original, inspiring contemporary folk songs in 2009. Matt Roos co-wrote the Idaho State Centennial Song “Celebrate Idaho!” and has mastered his style through roots in bluegrass, folk rock and jazz. Their sound has been described as “Indigo Girls with a touch of Emmy Lou Harris and a dash of Gillian Welch meets Shawn Colvin. Spiritual, Appalachian, Americana feel.” (Michael Kendall, Chief Programming Officer, Relevant Radio ® Chicago) Willison Roos is currently in the studio and plans to release their first collaborative CD in early 2012 featuring all new original compositions. Willison Roos performs locally with Charlie Burry (self acclaimed best fiddle player between Polecat Gulch and Bogus Basin Road -an area with a population of 14 fine souls), Brian Palmer (Bass), Tony Songer and Scott Learned (Drums).
