Johnny Dowd

Johnny dares to go places most of us don’t imagine. They might be back alleys, back porches, or just a bar down the street, but wherever he goes he dares to sing out what he sees. He conjures up characters with bluntness and an eye for telling details—a true writer’s songsmith. He has often found a fan base with punk rockers, though the music underpinning his words can range from country to blues and beyond. That’s part of the charm: every song builds a world of its own.

Joe Fiedler's Open Sesame

Open Sesame merges the two worlds of Joseph Fiedler—one as music director for Sesame Street for the past fourteen seasons, the other as internationally recognized jazz trombonist—by presenting his unique and slightly edgy arrangements of Sesame Street classics. "Open Sesame was unnervingly satisfying—hitting a note between scripted nostalgia and improvised jazz that was both exciting and comforting at the same time.”—London Jazz News.
