HERE'S WHAT FOLKS SAY ABOUT THEM . . .

"Eddie and Martha Adcock have always been welcomed to Godfrey's as perhaps the most popular and enduring duo in bluegrass music today. This trip will add Tom Gray, the Seldom Scene bassist, making them one of the most dynamic acoustic trios you'll ever hear. Sentimental favorites and true legends." Godfrey Daniels Coffeehouse, Bethlehem PA

"You all are fantastic! Last evening's gathering was one of (if not the) biggest we've had to date. I would love to have you back again but I'll probably need to put an addition on! Everyone loved you all. Thanks again to all of you." Andy Bryson, concert host

AND A LITTLE HISTORY . . .

While Martha (a South Carolinian) is known for her evocative vocals and powerhouse rhythm guitar, Eddie (from Virginia) is lauded as one of the few truly original stylists on banjo and guitar in bluegrass music, recently famed as The Bionic Banjo Man. Tom Gray (of Maryland) is a compelling, critically acclaimed bassist whose agile, creative playing is distinctive and memorable. Vocally and instrumentally, they have few peers!

Eddie and Tom are also noted as the surviving half of one of the most innovative and influential bluegrass groups of all time, the legendary ‘Classic’ Country Gentlemen of the Washington DC area.

Those iconic Country Gentlemen, which also included Charlie Waller and John Duffey, were inducted together as a band into the International Bluegrass Music Association's Hall of Fame in 1996, the first group to be so awarded. They also were installed in the Washington Area Music Association's Hall of Fame in 1996, with numerous other individual awards to their credit.

Eddie and Martha later partnered in the groundbreaking '70s newgrass band II Generation, while Tom helped found the ever-popular Seldom Scene group, all history-makers through decades.
