Gene and Gayla and The Fireflies

  • Rapunzel's Coffee and Books 956 Front Street Lovingston, VA, 22949 United States (map)

Gene and Gayla embody the folk tradition, weaving together strands of bluegrass, country, and folk with original songs of love, contemplation, and protest--many based on real events and people from Virginia. Multi-instrumentalist Kent Ippolito has performed and recorded with numerous artists since the 1980s and plays dobro and clawhammer banjo with the Fireflies. Mandolinist Jack Cowardin was a fixture in the Williamsburg music scene and a member of three seminal Charlottesville bluegrass bands: The Mindless Wonders, Coup de Grass, and Cloud Valley. The Fireflies have been having a damned good time playing together and would love to share that musical feeling with you.
