David Kiphuth's specialty is Round Peak-inspired claw hammer and bluegrass. He founded the seminal band Apple Country, and has played with Chestnut Grove, and Stacy Phillips and Phil Rosenthal. Jane Rothfield is a clawhammer player, tune composer, dance musician & band leader. She's been featured on NPR and on the mainstage at all the major eastern US folk fests. Emmy Award winner Gordon Stone is a Vermont-based, world-traveling musician whose uplifting originals combine bluegrass and jazz with African, world beat, and funk. His mesmerizing banjo exotica has made him a leading light in the jamband scene. Caffe regular Susan Trump plays fretted & fretless banjos on gentle songs that touch the heart, recall the past, and inspire the times ahead. Her relaxed teaching style and warm stage presence has inspired many new banjoists.
