She's able to play some venues with Bill who is tearing up audiences with his solo act. On January 16, Bill performed his first solo concert in Thousand Oaks California as a benefit for the Friends of the Thousand Oaks Library.

This marks their first appearance at this landmark music festival, which is a memorial to Merle Watson, son of the legendary Doc Watson.
