Experimental and innovative, the Columbus-based McKendree Spring mixed blues, folk and country with a progressive musical vision. Over the course of seven albums, they highlighted the songs of singer/guitarist Fran McKendree and offered up unique interpretations of songs by Bob Dylan, Neil Young and James Taylor. McKendree Spring built much of their reputation as a live act by featuring the virtuosity of guitarist Marty Slutsky and violinist Doc Dreyfuss.
