CORNFLOWER JAM

Cornflower Jam began at the jams and festivals around Philadelphia where we started playing and singing folk and oldtime music. During the pandemic, Laura Fitzsimmons and Christy Lou met regularly to play and
sing together on a Roxborough porch. Soon after, Laura Alexander joined us with her beautiful, complex cello chops and Rachel Fifer came to us with her gorgeous harmonies and unifying bass line.
Our sound is influenced by folk legends such as the Carter Family, Pete Seeger, Malvina Reynolds, Rosalie Sorrels, Ollabelle Reed, and Hazel Dickens and also by modern Americana artists. In addition to traditional music and covers, we play music we have written and recorded.

Charlie Zahm with Tad Marks

  Charlie Zahm, based in Chester County PA, is one of the most popular soloists at Celtic music festivals, Maritime, and American Traditional music events anywhere east of the Mississippi. He is joined by fiddler Tad Marks. With a baritone voice some have described as "coming along once in a generation," Charlie has become one of the most successful performers on the Celtic festival circuit, weaving magical moments of Scottish and Irish history for the listener and viewer, with passion for the performance and a chosen repertoire pleasing to all members of the family. A master of the guitar as well, Charlie brings an authentic love and respect for the music he sings-and with dashes of humor and a light in his eyes, he will draw you into the stories of his songs!
