John Cohen is a talented musician who has received two Grammy nominations with his band, The New Lost City Ramblers.

Spider John Koerner is one of America’s truest musical originals and one of the greatest practicianers of the traditional song. Spider John Koerner’s musical career has taken him to stages throughout North America and Europe. He has entertained many and influenced several generations of musicians. His songs are recorded and performed by others, including Bonnie Rait-- I Ain’t Blue. John Koerner is a frequent guest on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion.

Tony Glover authored several best-selling harmonica instruction manuals, worked as an all-night "underground" DJ, and spent time in New York as a music journalist for various magazines, including Rolling Stone, Crawdaddy and Circus. His notes for Dylan's LIVE 1966 album won the ASCAP Deems Taylor award. A Trio show in 1984 formed the foundation for his production: Blues, Rags & Hollers: The Koerner, Ray & Glover Story, a two-hour performance/documentary video. In 1987, he won the "Best Electric Harp" award from the Minnesota Music Awards. His collaborative biography of Little Walter will soon be published.

"Spider" John Koerner. Dave "Snaker" Ray. Tony "Little Sun" Glover. The names are legendary, and the seminal country-blues group they formed in the early Sixties influenced a musical era with its passionate treatments of rare blues stylings.
