Thanks so much to you and Rusty for your performances this Saturday!! The guests LOVED you and were so impressed that you learned Anjali Anjali!!! You were definitely one of the key highlights at the reception.

Don't be fooled by the easy-going campfire approach Rusty and Jan convey. They are serious, trained musicians that have paid dues in many a music venue. They give you that folk festival feeling, but in addition, they create an atmosphere that makes one believe that one is in a folk world of the past. You almost expect a young Peter, Paul and Mary to be in the wings taking notes.

When I think about the heart of this PA/NJ area folk scene, Rusty & Jan are at the forefront. They combine traditional classic elements with hip modern style augmented by their friendly personality, whether on the big stage or unplugged at a folkfest, along with longtime collaborator 'Tom' of 1st Names Only, their harmony, instrumentation and songwriting are loved by their many fans and peers. Rusty's resident 1st Wednesday Rountables start every month off in popular fashion, often joined by his partner Jan, the most sought after woodwind player around, together they're a bonified triple treat!

Rusty & Jan combine elements of radio ready singer-songwriter stylings and classical woodwind elements for a unique Americana music experience. Their original material has a timeless feel, giving the sense that their songs are "classics" even if they were written just a month ago.
