In The Spotlight — Bill Hearne, Oct. 30 @ GoodFolk

Bill Hearne

Bill Hearne

Legally blind since birth, Bill Hearne is not a typical musician. He is largely self-taught, and his picking style was one he developed all his own. While in Austin, Texas, Hearne met his wife, Bonnie, and the duo toured together for years. In 1997, they were signed to Warner Bros. Records and their first album for that label, “Diamonds in the Rough,” climbed to No. 5 on the Americana music chart. Hearne now travels the country with his son, Michael, and together, with a backing band, the two musicians will appear at 8 p.m. today (Oct. 30) at GoodFolk Productions, 229 N. Block Ave., in Fayetteville. Admission is $15. Reservations are suggested and can be made by calling 521-1812.
