Cooper's Glen

Same photo, processed differently.... Peter Mulvey @ Cooper's Glen Music Festival, in the ballroom at Kalamazoo's Radisson Hotel.

Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band at Kalamazoo's Cooper's Glen Music Festival, last night. Hoping these guys win a Grammy this evening.... Jody Stecher, mandolin; Paul Knight, bass; Keith Little, banjo; Peter Rowan, guitar and lead vocals. Gathered around the single vocal mike, quartet-style. ================= No luck on the Grammy. But I'm not planning to begrudge Patty Loveless.

Performing at Kalamazoo's Cooper's Glen Music Festival.

Alex is a member of the Quebecois band Genticorum, where he plays several instruments and sings. He has a wonderful animated face which I didn't capture well here. A delightful fellow to watch perform.... Cooper's Glen Music Festival in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Leader (or co-leader) of the wacky and absolutely delightful band Caravan of Thieves . A bit of rock, a dash of gypsy, lots of rhythm, and a large dose of circus. Hardly your typical folk festival act; the only (slightly) similarly showy groups I've encountered were klezmer-inflected, though that resemblance seems to be coincidental. Kalamazoo's Cooper's Glen Music Festival.
