Andy Statman is one of his generation's most creative and influential mandolinists, having achieved legendary status for his unique melding of bluegrass, traditional Jewish music, and avant-garde jazz. 

"Bill Monroe and John Coltrane poured into one person. .. He plays all those just great crazy jazz kind of licks, but with the heart and fire of Bill Monroe ... I don't know anyone else that approaches the mandolin the way he does." -Ricky Skaggs, NPR 

"One of the greatest mandolinists of this - or any - era ... He thinks at the speed of light and can play whatever he thinks of. As an improviser, he is fearless, and his musical vocabulary has no limitations." -Chicago Tribune

Grammy-nominated singer and guitarist Michael Daves was heralded as “a leading light of the New York bluegrass scene” by the New York Times. Daves has garnered attention for his work with Chris Thile, Steve Martin, Tony Trischka, and Bruce Molksy in addition to his solo performances.
