LOUISA – Live music continues Saturday afternoon at Masterpiece Café and Painted Cow Art Gallery in downtown Louisa with performances by Chuck Robertson along with Mia Catelin, harmonica player Tim Preston and other possible guests.

Catelin, with her hauntingly bluesy voice and soulful originals, will accompany Robertson during the first part of the set, which gets underway at noon Saturday.

The singer/songwriter from Louisa with will soon be releasing her debut single, “Dinosaurs,” on all music platforms.

Robertson is an island-born singer/songwriter who grew up in such musical hives as Memphis, Tenn., Charleston, S.C., and Seattle, Wash., absorbing influences of blues, rock and grunge. Spending half his childhood in West Virginia with his grandparents, he was also raised on gospel and backporch bluegrass jams deep in the hollows of Appalachia.

His music combines all these influences into his own unique style of mountain blues and acoustic rock.

His new single, “Bullets and Friends,” featuring Preston, will be released on all music platforms this week.

Preston is a multi-instrumentalist from Johnson County who has recently reunited with Robertson musically after the pair had not performed together in many years. Robertson and Preston perform spontaneous, unrehearsed songs and stories.
