The Lovestruck Balladeers

The Lovestruck Balladeers -- Jake Sanders (guitar/vocals), Dennis Lichtman (mandolin-clarinet-violin/vocals), Sean Cronin (bass/vocals), Mike Davis (trumpet/vocals) and Dalton Ridenhour (piano/vocals) -- enchant audiences with their masterful performances and inspired repertoire of ragtime, jazz and beautiful songs from around the world. They might whip out a lost melody from a forgotten mandolin folio or they might play a Mexican waltz. They might push into a renegade rearrangement of a swing standard or get down with a country rag. Together or on their own paths, this stellar band of traveling musicians has traversed the country and the globe, carrying traditional styles into modern times. Their repertoire is a rare collection of American and international music seldom heard beyond the walls of low-lit dance halls at the edge of the known world.
