Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers plays deep-grooving folk rock with masterful band-in-a-box guitar work--originals as well as fresh interpretations of songs by such artists as the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, and Stevie Wonder. His music has won numerous honors, including grand prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, a Sammy Award for Best Americana, and a performance in the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist Showcase. In addition to solo shows, he performs with multi-instrumentalist Wendy Sassafras Ramsay as the duo Pepper and Sassafras--finalists for Best Duo at the FreshGrass festival--and with a full acoustic band featuring drum/percussion master Joshua Dekaney.

September 19, 2018Jefferey was very professional to work with. Our large crowd was mesmorised by his musical talent and vocal ability. The combination of music was exactly what we were looking for. We were also excited to hear him share some of his own music with us as well. We would definitely invite him back to preform for our events in the future and highly recommend him,to others.

October 11, 2016We hired Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers and Wendy for my brother's wedding welcome reception. There were about 120 people at a buffet-style dinner. First of all, these two are true musicians and sound great. Their voices blend perfectly and Wendy played a whole bunch of instruments. All the covers were excellent, there were a lot of familiar tunes, and the originals they played fit in perfectly with the rest of the set, while providing a great change from the standard. Also, the volume was just right to fill the room with atmosphere without overwhelming or preventing the party from being able to talk and interact. I'd hire them for another event in a minute.
