Jeff Davis and Jerry Epstein, both extraordinary interpreters of traditional music, have known each other and made music together for 30 years. They are widely known as being among the finest exponents of the older traditional song of North America to be heard anywhere, and they share a committment to the old songs performed in the old way. The love, knowledge, and respect they have for the material they perform comes through in every song.

Jerry plays concertina, piano, and guitar, and Jeff plays just about every string instrument there is (incuding piano). Both are powerful singers with repertoires that include many rarely heard gems, gleaned from decades spent studying some of the finest of the previous generation of singers of traditional folk song.

Please call for reservations (so we can be sure to have enough chairs), and directions, if you need them. We'll have a crackling fire in the fireplace to keep us toasty, and hot cider on the stove. What better way to spend a cold winter's night?

Both Jerry and Jeff have recently released excellent albums, which get rave reviews in the latest edition of Sing Out! Jerry's is titled "Time Has Made a Change in Me" (Minstrel 212), and Jeff's (with Jeff Warner), is titled "Two Little Boys" (Warner and Davis 102). Both should be available at the concert.
