Folklore Village’s Senior Outreach Program Featuring an Afternoon with Pat Downing and Bill McWilliams

Join us for an afternoon of bluegrass with duo Pat Downing and Bill McWilliams from the band “Down from the Hills.” Pat Downing, a skilled mandolin, fiddle, and melodeon player, leads the band with a rich history of musical adventures, including session work in Ireland and jamming with Cajun musicians.  Bill McWilliams, the band’s 5-string banjo player, balances his love for bluegrass with a career in structural engineering. Inspired by TV shows like The Beverly Hillbillies, Bill has been harmonizing with the band since 1985. Many thanks to the United Fund of Iowa County for sponsoring Folklore Village’s Senior Outreach Program! Don’t miss this afternoon of delightful music and community connection!
