Roger has an amazing, beautiful voice. He plays and makes his own instruments, is a great flat-picking guitarist, as well as mandolin and other stringed instrument player.
Roger has been playing and entertaining in the Southern Tier for many years. He has a background in cabinet making, carpentry and guitar playing (he’s been playing since he was 12 years old, over 40 years).

Contact Roger through his website at www.BacornGuitars.com so you can support the ongoing efforts of this local entrepreneur and also be part of the resurgence of the American craftsman.
Jim Lawrence has been playing for over 35 years in the Ithaca and upstate New York music scene, playing styles from jazz, folk, Motown, fusion, and pop to new wave, bluegrass and rock n’ roll.
In 1984 his band, “The Choice”, won the BBC Great American Rock n’ Roll Talent Search. From 1985 to 1991, Jim was the lead singer in “The Kinetics”, and currently also plays with The Backtalk Band in Ithaca.
