The Lovestruck Balladeers

A five-piece ensemble led by Jake Sanders on guitar and vocals brings together mandolinist Dennis Lichtman, bassist Sean Cronin, trumpeter Mike Davis, and pianist Dalton Ridenhour to perform an eclectic mix of ragtime, jazz, and global folk songs. Their setlist may feature forgotten melodies from old mandolin collections or lively Mexican waltzes, bold reinterpretations of swing standards, or spirited country rags. This acclaimed group has toured extensively across the nation and internationally, blending traditional musical styles with contemporary sensibilities. Their unique catalog includes American and international compositions rarely found outside dimly lit dance halls on the fringes of the world.
