CYNERGY
is the collective alter ego of Judy and Bob Williams. They have been performing
in and around Savannah for over two decades. In addition to playing at
clubs, weddings, and private parties they have been featured at the Savannah
Folk Music Festival, the Night In Old Savannah, the Forsyth Festival,
and other public events.
Judy
is a consummate guitarist who also plays the bass (with the Glow In The
Dark Stringband), bouzouki, and the bodhran. Judy is a strong female tenor
and has sung with the Handel Choir of Baltimore, and more recently with
the Savannah Symphony Chorale.
Bob
began playing the hammered dulcimer about 20-years ago and, with guidance
from the likes of master dulcimerists Ken Kolodner and Karen Ashebrook
and inspiration from John McCutcheon, Malcolm Dalglish, Jerry Read Smith
and others - has become a pretty fair hand at playing this unique instrument.
Bob also plays guitar, sings, and bends a few notes on the harmonica.
Cynergy
often includes the talents of other musicians as well. Kelly Blackmarr
is a wonderful musician in her own right, performing on flute, pennywhistle,
and piano. John Kellam has been performing for over three decades,
and plays guitar, bass, mandolin, and fiddle. Kelly and John both add
their vocal talents and harmonies to the mix.
The
music of CYNERGY is "unplugged" and eclectic. Traditional
Celtic and American music provided the initial focus of the group's
efforts, the love of a wide range of music combined with the talents
of the members allows us to perform a variety of music including traditional
instrumentals, old time music, a touch of country & western, and
soft (folk) rock from the 70's and 80's.
