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 has appeared on the Grand Ole Opry with her original music, in addition to touring extensively in Europe and Japan. 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.
About Me:
 
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.

Something about your music lifts me. You have a gift. Robert Bowlin is everybody's dream band mate. He makes you sound SO good with both harmony and guitar. I'm very happy to find and subscribe to your channel and look forward to listening to everything!!!! I love finger picking "Rows" along with you on my acoustic (learning steel finger picks) Keep writing songs !!!

Um, I meant "Rows." (bows)

A lovely song. If I may indulge in a (seemingly) impertinent comparison, this song is reminiscent of "I am a Town" by MCC. It's easily your best song. I wish you all success. (and your guitarist has some serious Americana chops, a la David Rowlings).

It is great to be able to turn to some familiar music to keep me company as my semester draws to a close.

You got a delightful collection of videos going here. Now I'll have to buy one of your albums, and hopefully hear you perform live someday. I love the pastoral simplicity of your music and your winsome voice. Blessings to ya' !
