Alex Radus

Alex Radus is hailed as a “versatile crooner” (UMC Nashville) and “master guitarist” (Courier News), but his songwriting takes center stage. Alex pairs whimsical and poignant storytelling with an eclectic mix of Americana, swing, blues, folk and more, leapfrogging genres and blurring the lines between them. John Gorka calls him a “remarkable artist…an excellent guitarist, songwriter and singer…worth going out of your way to hear”. Most recently, Alex was selected as a 2024 Falcon Ridge Folk Fest Emerging Artist and voted a “Most Wanted” artist to return to the Main Stage in 2025. Alex hails from Pennsylvania’s artistically rich Lehigh and Delaware River valley region where he lives with his wife and two daughters. Doug Mishkin is a singer-songwriter best known for “Woody’s Children,” his song celebrating the legacy of Woody Guthrie. Doug says he was “born the night my mother took me to my first Pete Seeger concert” and then “came of age at the campfire where I first heard the songs of Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs and the rest of that crew. Those songs spoke to me—and they still do.” Doug’s music flows from that tradition--from his earliest songs about civil and human rights (“Make Those Waters Part” and “Anatoly”) to later songs celebrating freedom (“Prague Swing”) and decrying food insecurity (“Sing For Your Supper”), and finally to recent songs like “If They’d Been Black,” “Tip of the Spear,” “Reading Names (George Floyd)” and “Save Your Prayers.” Tom Paxton: “Doug Mishkin gets what folk music is all about and he passes it along with energy and humor. He is a splendid and engaging performer. You will love him.”
