David Coller and Diane Chodkowski have been making music and a life together for over 10 years and are overjoyed to be performing regularly again! David has been writing and performing folk music since his teens (which, he will be the first to tell you, means a VERY long time). He earned a BA in music from USC and has continued to play in bands, duos, and as a solo performer both in southern California and in Connecticut. Diane caught the folk music bug in 6th grade when a teacher sang folk songs of the era to her class, and later was living in NYC in the 80’s during the Fast Folk singer-songwriter scene, where she was surrounded by amazing musicians and had the great privilege of singing harmony and recording with some of them. This duo brings a variety of original songs: some straight-up folk, jazzy tunes that feel like standards, a bit of bluegrass, and some sea-songs, performed on the guitar, banjo, and the odd bit of button accordion.
