Andy Cohen and Jack Radcliffe
Andy Cohen has been playing one kind of old time music or another since he was barely big enough to hold a guitar. Having known, studied and traveled with some of the legendary early blues musicians, his understanding and mastery of country blues is unsurpassed. He is a scholar of the works of Rev. Gary Davis. Andy delivers a catalogue of music, wit and wisdom from a broad spectrum of traditional American culture; he's a walking folk festival.
'Ragtime' Jack Radcliffe has been performing since the late 1950s. He is a master of country blues and stride piano, and sings with belief, punch and clarity. As a composer he has contributed dozens of pieces to the ragtime reportoire, and has also written a number of topical songs in the country blues tradition.
These two veterans of the blues and jazz scenes combine their masterful playing and enormous repertoires with a penchant for silliness. Andy and Jack deliver an incredible performance of ragtime jazz and country blues accompanied by insults, jabs and bad jokes!
