Jeff Davis is one of America's most respected collectors and interpreters of traditional music. He plays fiddle, banjo, mandocello, guitar, spoons, jaw's harps and a few instruments hand-made by folk craftsmen, and has toured extensively throughout the United States and to festivals in Canada, England, Ireland, The Netherlands, and Norway.

Jeff and I have had a great deal of fun visiting and playing music as time has allowed over the past several years (New England Folk Festival, Eisteddfod Festival), and this will be a real treat to spend the better part of a week rehearsing and playing together. We'll be focusing (at Jeff's suggestion) on traditional music of New York State - - old Long Island fiddle tunes (as unlikely as that sounds), Great Lake songs, ballads and tunes from the Adirondacks, The Hudson, Erie Canal - - all that good old stuff that was once more common in our towns and villages.

More info as we get closer, but please plan to join us if you can!
