Ragtime & Beyond: The Lovestruck Balladeers

The Lovestruck Balladeers enchant audiences with their masterful performances and inspired repertoire of ragtime, jazz and beautiful songs from around the world. They might whip out a lost melody from a forgotten mandolin folio or they might play a Mexican waltz. They might push into a renegade rearrangement of a swing standard or get down with a country rag. Together or on their own paths, this stellar band of traveling musicians has traversed the country and the globe, carrying traditional styles into modern times. Their repertoire is a rare collection of American and international music seldom heard beyond the walls of low-lit dance halls at the edge of the known world.

The Lovestruck Balladeers are: Jake Sanders (guitar), Dennis Lichtman (mandolin/clarinet/violin), Sean Cronin (bass), Dalton Ridenhour (piano), and Mike Davis (cornet).
