An American Banjo Hall of Famer and recent winner of the prestigious Steve Martin Banjo Prize, Cynthia Sayer is a founding member of Woody Allen’s New Orleans Jazz Band and has played with renowned artists including Les Paul, Dick Hyman, Wynton Marsalis, Marian McPartland, and many others.

Joining Cynthia as a Special Guest is top NYC trumpeter Jon Erik Kellso. The go-to player for many jazz greats, Jon is on over 100 albums and many movie and TV soundtracks, including "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and the Grammy-winning “Boardwalk Empire.”
