Happy Traum and Andy Friedman
It's not easy to summarize in just a few sentences the musical accomplishments of Woodstock folksinger Happy Traum. He entered the Greenwich Village folk revival as a banjo-picking teenager in the late 1950s. He was a member of the legendary quartet The New World Singers, worked extensively with Bob Dylan through the 60s and 70s, and he formed Homespun Tapes, a music instruction company. His duo with brother Artie Traum played all the major folk stages through the 70s and 80s and, according to Rolling Stone, "defined the Northeast folk music style." Happy's muse is still as vigorous as ever, and he continues to write new songs in a laid-back folk and blues style.
Andy Friedman is a relative newcomer with a deep appreciation of the folk world's heroes and history. His reputation as "dusty, paint-splattered Americana sage" (Rochester News & Democrat) germinated with the release of Weary Things (City Salvage Records) in 2009, garnering enthusiastic praise, a performance on NPR's coveted Mountain Stage, a feature interview on XM's Bob Edwards Show, and a growing audience.
