This past Saturday night, a few of us headed to Fitzy’s Sports Bar in Edgewood, to listen to Nashville recording artists, Billy Arnold and Kari Nelson. One word, ADORABLE!!! They are a great and exceedingly talented duo. If you love acoustic guitar and fiddle music, you have to take in their show at Fitzy’s this Saturday, November 26th from 5-9. They play much of their of original recordings but also plenty of contemporary Country hits. The crowd of dancer’s were lovin them. Of course, I love Kari’s soulful and sultry version of, ” Joleen! ”
