Nell Robinson has a brand-new harmony-driven duo with award winning guitarist Jim Nunally, reminiscent of classic country duets like George Jones and Tammy Wynette, and singing siblings like the Louvin and Stanley Brothers. Think Del McCoury meets Iris Dement.

Alongside their own original material, Nell Robinson and Jim Nunally cover music ranging from Bill Monroe to Nine Inch Nails. Nell’s debut CD, Nell Robinson in Loango, made national bluegrass and Americana charts throughout the country and she was quickly snapped up by Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion and Strawberry Music Festival. She’s headlined The Kennedy Center in Washington DC, The Kate Wolf and Folklife Festivals.

“Utterly won me over, charmed me silly!” – Sing Out Magazine. Jim Nunally is a world-class guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, and has toured extensively with the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience and John Reischman. He is the recipient of two Grammy Award certificates and two IBMA awards. He is also a two time Western Open Masterpicking Champion and Guitar Champion. His most recent CD, Gloria’s Waltz, showcases his distinctive pickin’ and singing.

And as a special treat, joining them for the Treehouse gig is legendary northwest guitarist and singer Orville Johnson. Orville has played with Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett, John Hartford, Maria Muldaur, Richie Havens, Laura Love, Mark Graham, Sam Andrew (Big Brother and the Holding Company) and Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones). Johnson, known for his dobro and slide guitar stylings and soulful vocal acrobatics has guested on over 400 albums, appeared on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion, Jay Leno’s Tonight Show and was featured in the 1997 film Georgia with Mare Winningham and Jennifer Jason-Leigh.
