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 as well as 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. 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.
La Comission is the latest project of San Francisco-based singer/songwriter David Greco.
