Featured Band: 'Loretta & Mo — The Bluegrass Couple.'
"In 2005, CitiBank debuted a TV commercial that showed an elderly couple bantering and singing outdoors, she plucking an autoharp, he a mandolin. The ad was a snapshot of folks in their “golden years” who had handled their money well and were now making the most of their leisure. They sang “The Happy, Sunny Side of Life,” a tune made famous by the Blue Sky Boys some time around World War II. The commercial was so popular that it gave the two performers, Loretta & Mo Lebowitz, something of a second career. They are currently touring festivals as 'Loretta & Mo — The Bluegrass Couple.'"
The rest of their band is composed of:
Bob Mavian – Guitar
Arnie Fleischer – Banjo
Pete Elegant – Fiddle
Alan Cohen – Bass Fiddle (Mike Bubb in photo below) at Purdys
