Although classically trained, Rosoff’s resume lists almost as many Broadway and pop gigs as it does symphonic and chamber music engagements.

Old enough to qualify as ‘geezers’ but too young to be willing to admit it, the trio hails from Northeast Pennsylvania where they are fortunate enough to be gainfully employed (doing things other than playing music) and so can make music entirely for the pleasure of it. Their repertoire includes a mix of folk, bluegrass, old-timey, gospel, blues, Texas swing, and even the occasional sea chantey. For more about the Geezers visit young-geezers.com. $5M/$8NM. Children 12 and under free.
