WUIS' BEDROCK 66 LIVE! - DOUG & TELISHA WILLIAMS
Next Saturday's Bedrock show features Doug & Telisha Williams. When they write and sing songs about dying small towns, they know what they’re talking about. The unemployment rate where they live is 20.2 %. When you hear them sing songs about a couple of hard luck kids who made some bad decisions and wound up in jail, you’ve got to remember that Doug & Telisha are still good friends with those kids' families.

The Williams will be performing in Theatre III at the Hoogland Center for the Arts.  Local favorite Tom Irwin has been added to the bill and he will be singing Sangamon Songs, his heralded project based on a boy's diary from the late 1800s found at his farm house.  Purchase your tickets now!
