EARLVILLE – Amy Gallatin and Stillwaters bring their “clear true singing, clean sweet playing, great song choices” to the EOH Arts Café on Friday at 8 p.m. Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters has at its core the powerhouse duo of Amy Gallatin and renowned resophonic guitarist Roger Williams.

The two joined forces a few years ago to explore their mutual love of country standards, served up with an acoustic treatment in the bluegrass vein. Stillwaters includes veteran bassist Eric Levenson, formerly with Joe Val and the New England Bluegrass Boys and later with Boston City Limits and the recent addition of Roger’s son J.D., who – in the time-honored tradition of musical consanguinity – complements his father’s style perfectly.

The result is a toe-tapping blend of heartfelt vocals, soaring harmonies and red-hot picking. Americana radio host Ed McKeon says: “Amy’s vocals, with the power and tone of her voice, are tempered by Roger’s baritone which has been sanded smooth by cigarettes and, shall we say, maturity. The song selections are perfect, the harmonies glorious, the sentiments wonderfully maudlin (like any good old country song).”
