The self-styled mandolin player/singer of Two Tuesdays, a band of music-loving friends from the Baltimore/Washington area.  Stew and Two Tuesdays are from the improvisational school of "never the same way twice" (allman brothers, grateful dead, etc), but widen to include originals and a diverse range of rock and country covers from the artists that inspire them (bonnie raitt, drive by truckers, son volt, lucinda williams, rolling stones, johnny cash, etc).

Stew is also the namesake of StewFest, a magic annual summer mini- festival that celebrates friends, food, family, neighbors, cold ones and... live music.  He also books bands for The Reisterstown Festival (www.reisterstownfest.com).

Rich is an avid mandolin and guitar player of over 20 years, who enjoys writing, playing, singing and recording his own songs, inspired by the people, events and love that he encounters every day.  He especially enjoys playing music with friends, whether it be around a neighborhood campfire, at a local jam party, or with the band at his church.  His influences are rooted in the songs of his favorite artists including:  Johnny Cash, The Grateful Dead, Neil Young, Bob Dylan and of course Bob Marley.
