A talented multi-instrumentalist, he wields his guitar, banjo, whistle, and cittern with the easy deftness of an old woodsman with an axe.

"Jackson Browne is well-known for playing solo shows with a tremendous array of guitars on stage with him - it gives him the opportunity to choose different instruments for different songs. Lately I've found myself gathering some fantastic instruments around me in the recording studio, and whenever I stream from the studio. I love the chance to grab whatever guitar seems to want to play each song. I thought it might be fun (for all of us!) if I were to try to do something like this live as well, and what better place to try it than Cadenza? With a talented dedicated sound man and a lovely listening environment, this is the perfect chance to showcase some special instruments while sharing my songs! I hope you can join me!"

Jud Caswell has appeared at iconic venues like Cambridge’s Club Passim and Nashville’s Bluebird and has played celebrated folk festivals from Texas to Oregon. His songs have been covered by performers such as Judy Collins. "Much more than a great singer and guitar player," raves folk singer David Wilcox, "Caswell's songs take you into the storyteller's world with clear images and characters that come to life for the listener.”
