The Open Book Coffeehouse finishes its 2023-2024 season with a flourish on Saturday evening, June 15th, with the folk duo The Cadleys.

The Cadleys have been entertaining audiences throughout Upstate New York and New England with their powerful mix of traditional bluegrass, “new acoustic” a la Alison Krauss, and many of John’s originals, which have been recorded by national artists such as Jim Hurst (five-time IBMA guitar player of the year), Missy Raines (five-time IBMA bass player of the year), Grammy-nominated and world renowned banjo player Tony Trischka, Washington, DC, recording artist Dede Wyland, Amy Gallatin and Stillwaters, famed guitarist Richard Kiser, and Lou Reid, who, with his band Carolina, took John’s song “Time” to the #1 spot on the bluegrass music charts, where it remained for three months and was performed by Lou, Vince Gill, and Ricky Skaggs on The Grand Ol’ Opry.

The Cadleys’ music has been captured on six CDs—two with John and The Lost Boys, two John and Cathy duet albums, and two solo projects featuring John’s songwriting.

The best way to enjoy this duo’s music is to listen to it live and in person, to be in the audience and in a warm, intimate setting, such as the Open Book Coffeehouse.

Enjoy the relaxing, warm atmosphere of friendly people, good music, coffee, tea, and home baked goodies.  Doors open at 6:45 PM; music starts at 7:30 PM. Admission is $16 for the general public and $8 for students of any age. Tickets are available that evening on a first come, first serve basis. (cash or checks).
