Grammy Award winning singer Kathy Mattea and her longtime
collaborator, guitarist Bill Cooley, have shared one of Nashville’s
most musically rich partnerships for over two decades. The duo meets
as old friends, welcoming you into The Acoustic Living Room to share
songs and stories near and dear to their hearts - including Kathy’s
beloved classics such as “18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses,”
“Where’ve You Been?,” and many other hits, plus a handful of
more eclectic and often requested tunes from her extensive catalogue,
and a sprinkling of brand new material, all reinterpreted for the duo
format. Her 18 albums are woven through with bluegrass, gospel, and
Celtic influences, and have garnered multiple CMA, ACM, and Grammy
Awards. A genuine storyteller, Kathy draws inspiration from her
Appalachian roots and is a torchbearer for often overlooked musical
legacies like those of Hazel Dickens and Jean Ritchie. Her most recent
album, Calling Me Home, is a collection of songs that celebrates the
Appalachian culture of her native West Virginia and expands the
vocabulary of acoustic roots music that has always served as her
artistic center.
