Andrew Coupe grew up in northern England during the 60s and 70s and has been an ardent rhythm, blues, and folk fan all his life. He’s been writing songs and playing guitar and singing for nearly forty years, playing at UU Coffeehouses, church events, and various local venues. His favorite styles of music are blues, contemporary folk, jazz, ragtime, R&B, and rock. Andrew also plays drums and other percussion which influences his own styles and interests.

Raised in Virginia and Maryland, Rick Callender started writing songs ever since he picked up the guitar over twenty years ago. While living in the Midwest for 13 years, he cut his musical teeth refining his songwriting craft and playing in a myriad of bands, festivals, and musical projects. His songs have been acclaimed for their vivid imagery and unique musical approach. Rick’s very eclectic taste in music—largely inspired by the golden age of college radio during the late ‘70s-’80s—adds a fresh ingredient to the trio’s musicality.
He has released two CDs, the fully orchestrated Undone in 1998 and the sparse Spark in 2000, a collection of songs recorded live in the Fort Wayne Museum of Art.
