Richard Smith is by even the most conservative estimations, one of the top three finger style guitarists in the world - many claiming he is actually the most talented.  He doesn't just play country, or standards, or blues, or Chet, or Merle, or Jerry Reed, or jazz, or classical.... He plays them ALL equally brilliant!  And, he could - if need be - hold audiences spellbound for hours on end - playing solo.

However, he travels and shares the stage with his lovely wife and accomplished cellist, Julie Adams, who adds a "touch of class" to his performances that their audiences simply adore.  Whether they are playing Bach, Basie or backwoods bluegrass - they will keep you tapping your feet and amazed with their world class performance.

Richard & Julie have been coming to play for ever larger audiences in the Columbus, Ohio area for over 10 years.  As unbelievable as it may seem they have become even more polished and entertaining.  However, the one thing they can't do alone - that Richard is simply amazing at - is play play "single line/(note)" Django Reinhardt style gypsy jazz.  Which is why we also attempt to put a little "Hot Club" style group together to allow Richard to RIP into that style of music.  

Joining Richard in a little "Hot Club of Columbus" jam set will be the highly talented Andy Woodson - on bass, Arkadiy Gips - on fiddle.  

You won't want to miss this concert!!!

  • OFGC Tuesday Night Club Jam

We are into our 10th year of having a ball pickin' every Tuesday evening.

We had been having a Tuesday Night Jam at Scottie's Coffee House in Worthington, OH. for over 9 years until the recent owner had to close.  Nobody bought it (we went through 4 owners) so the awesome staff at the beautiful new Peggy R McConnell Arts Center, 777 Evening St, Worthington, OH started a "Cafe MAC" to host our jams.  Had to change the times to 6 till 9..   Come on down and bring your guitars and pick a couple with us.
