Last night’s Civil Wars show at the Fox Theatre belied the fact that bandmates Joy Williams and John Paul White have only been playing together for three years. The gathered crowd showed the duo the devotion of a fan-base developed over years stacked far beyond such a limited time. Williams and White rewarded the audience’s support with an entertaining, jovial show, hinged on hits from their first full-length album, “Barton Hollow,” released in February 2011.
