Andy Cohen has been playing one kind of old time music or another since he was barely tall enough to reach the piano keys. His best-known virtuosity is in the blues - the good old, honest, down-to-earth, licks-filled acoustic blues. He is lucky (and old) enough to have learned directly from some of the greats, including Jim Brewer, Pink Andersen, Honeyboy Edwards, Rev. Dan Smith, Daniel Womack, and many more. He is a scholar of the works of Rev. Gary Davis, and comes just about as close as anyone can to replicating Rev. Davis' intricate style of guitar playing.

Andy's blues work is studied and appreciated by blues scholars and casual listeners alike. But as he considers folk music to be One Big Thing, Andy's repertoire is broader than that, including old-time string band music, gospel, Celtic fiddle tunes, country songs, piano rags, southern mountain music and English Music Hall material. His influences, correspondingly broad, range from Rev. Gary to Uncle Dave Macon, James P. Johnson to the Carter family, Woody Guthrie and Jimmy Rodgers to Harry Partch. Proficient on the 6 and 12 string guitar he is a talented player of fiddle, 5-string banjo, piano, mandolin and autoharp, and he is the only performing Dolceolist anywhere. Great grandfather to the Casio, the Dolceola is a chord zither with a keyboard, vintage early 1900s. It is played like a piano, and sounds similar to a harpsichord.

Andy Cohen is an energetic, entertaining and charming performer, an engaging speaker and teacher, and is extremely knowledgeable about the roots and history of American music. He offers practical, results-oriented workshops in guitar, from beginners to advanced players. He is most at home performing on concert, coffeehouse and festival stages, and is also quite happy to play for church services, school programs and residencies, retirement homes, fairs, libraries and community events.

'Ragtime' Jack Radcliffe has been performing for more than 35 years. He is a master of traditional country blues and stride piano, and a powerful singer/songwriter, as well. He also accompanies himself on the guitar and harmonicas.

He was a fixture on the coffeehouse circuit in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. His major early musical partnership was with Georgia country blues guitarist and singer Larry Johnson, in 1968-1970. His band 'The New Viper Revue' pushed the genre envelopes of blues, folk, rock 'n' roll and jazz from 1972-1976. Jack resumed his solo career in 1977, then teamed up with reed player Al Oliveira in 1983.
