John Dady and Jed Curran

John Dady

John Dady has been singing his way into the hearts of his audiences since the 1970’s when he and his brother Joe produced their first album as “The Dady Brothers”. Many more albums followed, along with thousands of concerts and songs. They performed throughout the eastern United States and across Ireland. John and Joe’s brotherly harmonies and adept command of a variety of instruments captivated audiences both young and old. In 2020, The Dady Brothers were chosen to be inducted into the Rochester Music Hall of Fame.

Since Joe’s untimely death in 2019, John has continued the tradition, performing solo or with several accomplished musician friends. Most often, he is joined by John Michael Ryan on penny whistle and button accordion.

Accompanying himself on upside-down, left-handed guitar and ukulele, John’s vast repertoire of songs includes original compositions, Irish and American Folk songs, popular tunes from the Big Band Era to the Beatles and the Band, and the list goes on.

Jed Curran

Jed Curran, popular singer-songwriter and veteran of Rochester’s acoustic music scene. From hosting open mics to playing sideman, he’s paid his dues while sharing his life stories and love of music through his songwriting.

“One of my least favorite things to do is write about myself in a promotional sort of way. I'd much rather reveal the intimate details of my life hidden behind the cover of three or four chords and some form of melody line. I can however tell you this much about myself. I fell in love with music at a very early age. My first guitar memory is watching my uncle Chuck open a christmas present from his wife. It was a blonde 56 Telecaster. It took my breath away at the age of six. I've been around music in one way or another ever since. I've had that very same guitar on an extended loan and used it on a cut of my first solo CD called 'Morning Pages'. I wrote my first meaningful song after the breakup of my first marriage and the second meaningful song after the passing of my mother some 15 years later. It was through these experiences I discovered the wonderful therapeutic healing powers of song writing. I sent one of my songs to a friend in Nashville, Bat McGrath and recieved some great inspiration and encouragement from him to 'keep writing'. Well I took that advice and contnued to write. I feel that the songs I have recently recorded are of value and worthwhile. I also feel that as long as I keep writing and keep my heart open that my best work is in front of me. I write about the things in my life that move me. I write in a storytelling kind of style. I beleive that there is a thin line that seperates the mundane from the profound and that the two things which erase that line are Heart, and Attitude.” Jed Curran
