Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers, founding editor of Acoustic Guitar magazine, teams up with multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Wendy Sassafras Ramsay in the dynamic acoustic duo Pepper and Sassafras. Joining them are long-time collaborators Tim Burns and John Dancks – Saturday, February 21 at 7:30 pm at Greece Baptist Church.
Rodgers delivers masterful band-in-a-box guitar work while Ramsay, harmonizer extraordinaire, adds flute, clarinet, guitar, accordion, and her quirky originals to the mix. “Together they stir up great music – clever, funny, and thought provoking, with an easy rapport with the audience” (Park Coffeehouse).
Tim Burns (guitar, mandolin, vocals) is a Rochester native who got his start as a performer with the acoustic groove band The InBetweens, and he currently leads the Americana band Two Hour Delay.
John (JD) Dancks (upright bass) has been a fixture on the Central New York acoustic music scene performing with The Cadleys and many other groups.
