Andrew Innes The Reluctant Ramblers make their first appearance at the Friday Folk Coffeehouse at First Church Dedham. The Ramblers draw their material primarily from Andrew’s original songs which are rooted in the slower, dreamier side of indie-folk, blues, Americana and bluegrass. Andrew Innes (Acoustic Guitar & Vocals) has been studying and performing music for almost 40 years. Andrew started at the age of 16 with harmonica and piano, and then picked up saxophone in his senior year of high school. Over the years Andrew has fronted various jazz groups on alto and tenor saxophones; played washboard, musical saw and harmonica with the wonderful NYC-based bluegrass/western swing band, The Bootleg Remedy. Andrew played saxophone and harmonica with indie-chamber pop supergroup Champale (featuring members of Clem Snide, Luna & Nada Surf) and spent two years in the house band for the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus. He performed for many years with Uncle Jimmy’s Dirty Basement, a provocatively unlikely collaboration between Henson-level puppeteers and an avant-garde rock band and added musical saw, saxophones and accordion to the cinematic soundscapes of the instrumental band, Anchor Tattoo. In recent years Andrew has shifted his primary focus to guitar, dobro, singing, and songwriting and can be seen in the Boston area fronting the Reluctant Ramblers, playing with the AKE Trio, and accompanying singer-songwriter Carla Ryder.

Eric Smalley (Upright bass) and Kim Patch (Fiddle) play with many groups in the Boston area including The Rozzicats, Louder Than Milk, Creek River String Band & the Bookmatch Duo. Tim Obetz (Pedal Steel) has performed and recorded with many musicians and bands in the Boston-area including Buffalo Tom, Will Dailey, Terry Kitchen, Buttercup, and The Pineapple Ranch Hands.
First Church and Parish Dedham Unitarian Universalist was first gathered in 1638 and is located in Dedham Center at 670 High Street. Its lively music program includes choir at Sunday services, the Parish Players theater troupe, and the Concerts at First Church Saturday classical concert series, in addition to our Friday Folk Coffeehouse events.
