Blues, Ballads & Stories w/Ewan D. Rodgers and Dan Sedgwick

An evening of traditional songs and stories, from the British Isles to the Appalachian Mountains. Performed by Ewan D. Rodgers and Dan Sedgwick.

Ewan D. Rodgers is a folk singer, guitarist and banjo player from another age. Originally from West Yorkshire but now based in Suffolk, Ewan is a natural re-interpreter, drawing influences from a wide range of traditional sources to create music that evokes the forgotten struggles and joys of individuals, whilst illustrating the universality of human experience.

Dan Sedgwick is a storyteller from Ipswich who tells stories in all sorts of places to all sorts of people. During the last year he has performed at The East Anglian Storytelling Festival, Get A Word In Edgeways festival and Cambridge folk festival. Dan loves to combine local stories with ancient Middle Eastern wisdom.

“A fine singer, an exceptional guitar and banjo picker, and a more than capable squeezer of concertina and melodeon.” — fRoots Magazine

“Although he quotes as many Americans as Brits as influences, it’s clear that Rodgers is an old school British folk singer, first, last and always.” — Maverick magazine
