 Bob Simons and Renee Goodwin are folk guitarists who have been friends since the 1960s and who merged their singing and instrumental talents in 2006. In the past eight years, as a duo they call simply Simons and Goodwin, they have entertained audiences in various settings: pubs, coffeehouses, outdoor and indoor concerts and private parties. Next week (2 p.m., Saturday, July 8), they will bring their songs back to Jonesport’s Peabody Memorial Library in a repeat of a popular performance of last August.
