about the jpr trio
JPR3 plays deep-grooving acoustic rock, mixing original songs with fresh takes on songs from the Beatles and Grateful Dead to Anna Nalick and Elvis Costello. Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers, a grand prize winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and the founding editor of Acoustic Guitar magazine, is joined by SAMMY winner Josh Dekaney (Grupo Pagan, Samba Laranja) on a one-of-a-kind multi-percussion kit and singer-songwriter Wendy Ramsay (the Unstoppables, the Hysterical Fits) on vocals, rhythm guitar, flute, and clarinet.
“Folk music with a serrated edge... A magical blend of storytelling, driving flattop guitar, and earthy percussion.”
--Andy Ellis (Guitar Player, Frets)
“Songs that fill the senses…” --Mark Bialczak, The Post-Standard
