Jim Williamson Trio

Called “one of Lincoln’s most talented jazz pianists” by The Lincoln Journal Star, Jim Williamson has been a fixture in Lincoln's music business for over 40 years. He regularly works as a producer and performer on the regional and national music scene, working throughout the Lincoln area in combos with other musicians such as Annette Murrell, Ed Love, Mary O’Keefe, Brian McCune, Steve Thornberg, and the Adams and Cooley Rat Pack Jazz. He is comfortable playing about every style of music and his combo promises to offer great music in a variety of jazz styles.

Midnight Wanderers

The Midnight Wanderers started over a decade ago when husband and wife, Matt and Jenny Richardson, started to delve deeper into the folk tradition. Drawing from bluegrass to old time, to folk and blues, their music covers the gamut of Americana. Taking turns singing lead and picking songs between the 5 members keeps the set diverse, and with songs curated from so many genres, there's something for everyone.

Live entertainment featuring both campus and local performers will be featured in front of Chase Hall during the East Campus Discovery Days and Farmers Market. If you are interested in performing, please contact Jordan Slagle at jslagle10@unl.edu.
