Handsome Jim Groves and the Hornswoggling Codswallowers started during the COVID crisis. It was Maryland Meadworks that decided to have music outside and the owner reached out to see if I could pull a band together. Well, of course I could! Joe Atkins, Sam Atkins and Maureen Farrington (who you may know from the Wild Anacostia's and many other bands) joined me in bringing live music back to the people. There is a whole story about the name of the band which I won't waste the bandwidth to explain here. Just know that we think of ourselves as if we were our favorite college radio station from back in the mid to late 80's. From Blues to Jazz to Rock to Grateful Dead to Pop to Reggae. We play what we like!
PB&J
with Bill Jenkins on bass and Paul Fraunfelter on drums. This band covers music from the 50's to the 80's. The Who, Grateful Dead, Billy Idol, Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Cliff, Beatles, ELP, BB King and more! No agenda here - just playing the songs we love!

With Bill Jenkins
With Bill Jenkins
Bill Jenkins and I have well over 100 tunes we play together. Bill is master of the Bass but will also bring out the harmonica, slide guitar, percussion and much more. If it has strings, bill probably owns one and can play it as well! During the outdoor months we hit the Farmers Markets together and will also do some shows at smaller venues.
With Todd Baker (Cravin' Dogs fiddler and my neighbor!!)
With Tom Lyons - Toms in many Bluegrass bands and is top notch.
With Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation Ambassadors. I spend a lot of Saturdays with these blues players.
Gratefully Irish - I mix in Irish Pub Songs with Grateful Dead tunes. Best of both worlds!
