The Sunday night Bluegrass sessions at the Comet are informal and known to draw a diverse, “listening” audience, from small children to senior citizens. Those attending the shows find each member of the band accomplished singers and multi-instrumentalists in their own right, with the live combination of these players presenting an even greater sum than its parts, through amazing musical interplay and high lonesome bluegrass harmony.

Headliner
Good Cop/ Rad Cop is a musical-comedy duo from Atlanta, Georgia. Their fast and loose banter and high-energy, barn-burning performances leave audience members on their feet, singing and laughing along with the band. Armed with nothing but a guitar and a few kazoos, comedians Dave Hannah and Ryan Darling will sing, scream, and harmonize their way into the hearts of every crowd with absurd and often poignant songs that are influenced by their love of country, punk and doo-wop.
They have headlined Red Eye Comedy Festival, Epic Comedy Festival and Lookout Comedy Festival and will be featured at the 2023 Laughing Skull Festival. They’ve brought their musical comedy variety show “The Rad Ole Opry” to Denver, Asheville and other cities across the Country. They’ve played the Bijou Theater with Bobcat Goldthwait and have made an appearance on Eddie Pepitone’s podcast, Apocalypse Soon and the Well Red Podcast with Trae Crowder. Their songs have gone viral and been played on BBC and NPR. They’ve crowd-surfed in living rooms, performed singing telegrams for Mother’s Day, and played the 7th inning stretch for minor league baseball games. Good Cop/ Rad Cop is a musical comedy experience that feels like a week’s worth of summer camp packed into one show.
