Sassafras Jubilee will lull you back to a world where the banjos, fiddles and mandolins were king! The sweet voice of Andrea Cohen provides the perfect spirited, sensual, soul-backed vocal compliment to the steady, upbeat pickings of Walter Pierce while Adam Cohen and Brent Williams provide the perfect, dream-inducing rhythm. The fast string plucking of popular bands like Mumford & Sons have nothing on this Lafayette-based band that packs a unique Lafayette punch sure to bring a new sound to Downtown Alive! this spring. You will be hearing more of this band in the future and you can say you saw them first at DTA!
