Blue Smoke
BLUE SMOKE is a newly formed group of long-time musicians.  It’s members are Wendy Jorgensen, Mike Hale, Brian Szuch, Maury Falkoff and Rebecca Stansbury.   Blue Smoke's repertoire includes an Americana fusion of songs created mostly during the1960s and early 1970s. Our style meshes rhythm and blues, folk-rock, country, and soul, seasoned by Appalachian, Cajun and urban traditions. Our goal is to move people both to tears and laughter, and even to dance a little!

The Smokin' Fez Monkeys

The Smokin Fez Monkeys is a modern jug band that puts the fun back into music again.  They play a wacky mixture of songs and tunes from several decades ago, mixed in with a number of snappy original ones written by a few of the band members. There are more than a few surprises along the way.  It’s a sort of a ragtime-cartoon-Vaudeville-circus-hobo-gypsy-jazz thing.

The Wild Hares
THE WILD HARES consist of John and Janet Schomburg, Joe and Leslie Cooke.  Their old-time novelty band seeks to entertain and bring back some of the old songs.  John Schomburg plays fiddle, banjo and guitar.  Joe spent 30 years in and around the Nashville bluegrass scene until meeting Leslie and emigrating to the wilds of southern Ohio. (aka Yellow Springs). Janet’s haunting voice will recall days of yore, when life was slower.
