Mr. Cohen isn’t the average hippie gone Wall Street, he’s also a certifiably smokin’ barrel house rumba boogie-woogie piano player in the James Booker/Professor Longhair/Dr. John vein.

What separates Cohen from a lot of other players is his unassuming ease behind the keys, and the ability to take that admiration past rote emulation, invoking the spirits of boogie-woogie, stride and blues piano greats without ever forcing things or just replicating other folks’ licks.

In addition to Country Joe and the Fish, over the years, he has played and/or recorded with The Blues Project, Mick Taylor, The Luther Tucker Blues Band, Elvin Bishop, Hubert Sumlin, Melvin Van Peebles, Happy and Artie Traum, Arlen Roth, Eric Anderson, David Blue, Tim Hardin, Norton Buffalo, Jerry Miller, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Buddy Miles, Canned Hear, John Cippolina, Huey Lewis, Michael Bloomfield, Bob Weir, John Kahn, Johnnie Johnson, Jimmy Vivino, Jay Owens, Debbie Davies, Byther Smith, Bobby Kyle, Bill Perry, Rocky Lawrence, Johnny B. Gayden, Sandra Feva and others.

He played on Broadway and toured in the hit show, RENT, doubling on keyboards and guitars.

FarmDoubt formed in mid 2005 with a dynamic foursome of seasoned rockers that have been belting the tunes out for decades. Barry (guitar), Darren (guitar and drums) Pete (bass) and Glenn (drums and keyboard) combine to form an energetic explosion of American roots and riveting Blues.

The group boasts over 20 years of experience playing together in bands such as the bourgeois boogie band, NightShift,Eastern Standard Time, and the Boilers as well as recording tracks for various artist CDs. The recording work of the group at Feedroom Studios, which was a feed storage room for goats and chickens (now converted to a high end digital recording studio), inspired the name FarmDoubt.

Song Title: Come Back To Ya

Bluesman Tom Malafarina was born July 23, 1955 in the town of Ashland, Pennsylvania in the heart of the “Hard Coal” region. He grew up in this hard working, hard drinking blue-collar community amid pitifully low income levels and frighteningly high unemployment rates. From this humble, constantly struggling community, with its strong ethnic bonds, Tom learned the importance of hard work, honesty, determination and most importantly need for keeping a good sense of humor about life.

At the turn of the 21st century, with the onset of the new millennium, Tom came out of retirement with a mission to focus all of his musical talents as a singer/songwriter in one direction, the BLUES.

Song Title: Come On Over Baby
