Folk:  Modern Man 

Described by Christine Lavin as "the funniest band of the new Millenium,"  the hilarious combined forces of David Buskin, Rob Carlson and George Wurzbach leave audiences gasping with laughter. Each one a brilliant performer in his own right, the three together are "a cross between Crosby Stills & Nash and the Marx Brothers." This one is a must-see.

Opener Terence Martin is a songwriter, poet, and professor.
