Andy Cohen
from Live At the Grafton Hosted by Dan Kugler
Andy Cohen grew up in a house with a piano and a lot of Dixieland Jazz records, amplified after a while by a cornet that his dad got him. At about fifteen, he got bitten by the Folk Music bug, and soon got to hear records by Big Bill Broonzy and the Jim Kweskin Jug Band, both of which reminded him of the music he grew up to. At sixteen, he saw Reverend Gary Davis, and his course was set. He knew he had it in him to follow, study, perform and promote the music of the southeast quadrant, America’s great musical fountainhead. Although he’s done other things, a certain amount of writing and physical labor, from dishwashing and railroading to archeology, playing the old tunes is what he does best. This interview/performance was attended a well-sized and appreciative crowd of old friends and admirers. Andy Cohen Live at the Grafton
