Great Live Music Series in Williamsburg
The Live Off Five live music series at Williamsburg Unitarian Universalists church (www.wuu.org/liveofffive.htm) is the kind of event every music-loving person hopes to find in a tourist town. Since Williamsburg is a tourist town and a college town, the combination often results in good programing that is well attended by visitors and locals. If you are lucky enough to be visiting when a performance is scheduled then lucky you! Don't miss out.
Recent performers have been favorites of ours. My husband discovered Susan Greenbaum's (www.susangreenbaum.com) strong vocals and liked her musical ability. Susan's husband plays percussion. Sometimes we've seen just the two of them and other times they've performed with their band. I tend toward bluegrass and The Gurleys (http://billandpamgurley.com) are just my cup of tea. Bill plays the guitar, banjo, violin, and other stringed insturments. Pam has a terrific voice. Their daughter, Megan, is playing bass and singing with them now.
If you're in Williamsburg and want to find the WUU Church (which is just off of Route 5 and thus the series name), follow Jamestown Road out of town toward Jamestown. Just past the Carrot Tree Kitchen (on the left) is a stoplight and T-intersection with Sandy Bay Rd. Turn right and the WUU is about a mile up the road on your left. If you get to the intersection with Route 5 you've gone too far, so turn around and come back!
