Rusty and Jan

"Acoustic Familiarity With a
Classic Woodwind Twist"


Rusty Crowell: Guitar & Vocals
Jan Alba: Flute, Saxophone & Vocals


The collaboration of Rusty and Jan began in December 2000 when they were each recruited by a mutual friend to play in a Christmas Eve service. Following the event they agreed to explore how their divergent backgrounds would complement each other. Combined, Rusty’s experience with “music by ear” and Jan’s background as a classically trained flutist, they create a modern and innovative interpretation of many well known songs. They play a diverse assortment of styles including classical, originals, popular, and folk (to name a few). They are available for many venues including: Coffee Houses, Bars, House Concerts, Weddings & other special events.

"They Bring Folk to Classical,
and Class to Folk"

Rusty and Jan are members of the Pennsport String Band. Together with Tom Harwell, they are a part of 1st Names Only. They are proud supporters of Barrington Coffee House, the Philadelphia Folksong Society, the Philadelphia Area Songwriters Alliance (PASA), and several other Philadelphia area organizations.
