About Me

As Wil Maring sat for long summer hours as a teenager at her family's roadside vegetable stand, picking out self-made tunes on her Sears guitar to pass the time, she never dreamed of the path she would one day follow. Wil has become a highly acclaimed songwriter, a previous winner of the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at Merlefest and a 2007 Kerrville New Folk contest finalist, and has appeared on the Grand Ole Opry with her original music, in addition to touring extensively in Europe and Japan. She honed her songwriting skills playing music professionally in Europe with her group Shady Mix. Wil Maring and virtuose guitarist and fiddler Robert Bowlin have been recently combining talents to create beautiful original acoustic music which straddles the fence between bluegrass, folk and country music. Wil’s beautiful airy vocal style and heartfelt lyrics have raised the eyebrows of the acoustic music world in recent years.

  • South Of Nashville Oh Wil, you have such a lovely voice and the fiddle are so lovely together. You remind me of Allison Krauss so much and that is the biggest compliment that I can give you. You are very talented and I hope someday I will get to hear you perform. Let us know when you are in Nashville or near there. Anywho, thanks for the add and thanks for becoming my new neighbor here on DR. Come on over and listen to my music anytime. They are all up for grabs as I am a lyricist. I hope you will shine forever. Best Regards, Phil....
