March 18 One Way Rider and Jones/Kovac Trio
8PM Tickets: $8
One Way Rider is a family band that performs a unique combination of Traditional Bluegrass, Newgrass, Country, Gospel, Acappella & Progressive appalachian. Consisting of mother Valerie Fay, father David Lee, & their children Amanda Lynn, Chittlin', & Bass Boy. Together they create an enchanting spectrum of sound, that sends the listener on a mystical journey through time. With an entertaining and comedic stage show that the entire family is sure to enjoy.
"One Way Rider are a throwback to a more simple and wholesome time in American music in which traditional family values and musicianship were more important than image and electronics. One Way Riders music can best be described as Bluegrass, although there is a healthy dose of Country and Appalachian music on their latest disk Guesses River, as well as an amazingly effective "Newgrass" cover of Tom Pettys' "Won't Back Down" which translates wonderfully to the genre. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this disk are the abilities of the two youngest Mayfields, Bass Boy and Jessica. Jessica, nicknamed Chitllin'' by her family (who seem to have a fondness for such things), has a vocal presence that far exceeds her years. She is definitely worth watching over the next decade. Bass Boy is, in so many words, amazing. This young man is a multi-instrumentalist, being equally comfortable on bass, guitar, and mandolin. He also served as this disks producer. This disk is a must have item for
anyone with an interest in truly American music. "
Opening will be the Jones/Kovac Trio featuring Denny Jones, Paul Kovac and Bill Watson. Consiting of Denny Jones, one of the finest fiddle players in Ohio; Paul Kovac, the leader of Hillbilly Idol on vocals, guitar, mandolin, and banjo; and Bill Watson on acoustic bass, this trio will certainly liven up the evening.
March 19 Andy Cohen
8PM Tickets: $10 adv/$12 door
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 has adapted the late Piedmont blues/gospel guitarist/singer, Reverend Gary Davis's musical technique to an eclectic range of music. While he paid tribute to Davis's repertoire with his 1997 album, The Sacred Songs Of Rev. Gary Davis, Cohen has incorporated old Southern music, country blues, ragtime, gospel, old timey and field hollers to his Davis-like acoustic guitar finger-picking. Establishing his career in his native Ohio, Cohen took an ethnomusicologist-like approach to the area's musical roots. He spent countless hours visiting and studying with master blues and folk musicians, learning songs that he subsequently performed at folk festivals and coffeehouses throughout the United States. Since relocating to Memphis, to marry multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Larakin Bryant, in September 1996, Cohen has become one of the Tennessee city's busiest musicians. In addition to performing, with his wife, as a duo, Cohen has served as president of the Beale Street Blues Society
and has directed the Kent State Folk Festival. With his wife, he launched an independent record label, Riverlark Mark, to release albums of mostly Southern traditional music.
