The Madison Folk Music Society and Wild Hog in the Woods Coffeehouse present Robert Jones and Matt Watroba in a special live-streamed concert. Ever since meeting over thirty years ago, Jones and Watroba have been musical partners. Their relationship started when they hosted back-to-back radio shows on WDET-FM in Detroit. Later on, they started performing together and in doing so,they discovered a friendship based on mutual respect and a love for traditional American music. They have traveled the nation, extolling the virtues of Music That Matters. That includes folk, blues, spirituals, work songs, chants, etc. As talented as they are individually, singing and playing guitar, banjo and fiddle, together they form a synergy that is hard to describe. This concert is a benefit for the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center. Donations will be split between the performers and Wil-Mar. More information at htttps://www.wildhoginthewoods.org on the Calendar page.
