Schedule of Events:

10:00 am: Bill and Julie Reid - The Julie William's Band

Bill and Julie have been playing music together for over 10 years. They met for the first time when she walked into an open mic that Bill was hosting. Wearing cowboy boots, hat and fringe buckskin jacket, she walked to the stage and asked the band to accompany her for one of her original songs. Everyone was charmed by her style and singing. They went on to form the Julie William’s Band with their friend and local guitar legend Will Parquette. Two guys named William and Julie is why its William’s (not really her last name). Will passed several years ago, and Bill and Julie continue to play a blend or traditional and contemporary country, Americana, blues, bluegrass, folk-rock, and of course some of their original tunes as well. You can find Julie William’s Band on Facebook, and don’t forget the ‘s.
