FOOTMAD Concert - Richie & Rosie. Americana fiddle, banjo, melodies. 7:30 PM. Capitol Center Theater, 123 Summers St, Charleston WV.

“The air left the room when Richie and Rosie sang their first notes together ... everyone had their breath taken away at once. … There is ache and wisdom in Richie’s voice. That well is deep. Layer that with the strength and beauty in Rosie’s and you have a winning combination.” — Jen Hughes, Bluegrass Today
