Program Description

Event Details

with father-son duo Eddie & Josh Coffey and special guest Patrick Padgett 

The trio will perform on the first floor of the library from 2 to 3:30p.m or weather permitting in the library garden

Eddie Coffey was raised in western Kentucky and grew up listening to old time country and bluegrass music playing with his father's band on the state park circuit. Primarily a guitarist, Coffey learned to play upright bass at age 48, when his son Josh asked him to join the band Bawn in the Mash and record on their debut album "Welcome to the Atomic City". In addition to Bawn in the Mash, Eddie also plays with The Wheelhouse Rousters and Dan Knowles.
Josh Coffey is a composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and music educator from western Kentucky. Incredibly varied in his musical aptitude, Coffey is easily at home in orchestral settings, string quartets, string bands, jazz ensembles and rock-based bands. 

Patrick Padgett is a talented banjo player and Celtic music aficionado.

All programs are free & open to the public
