In Al Coffey's hometown of Roanoke, Virginia they refer to him as the "Swiss Army Musician". Instead of different blades and tools, he brings out instrument after instrument. Playing in different bands and as a sideman for other singers, he can be seen playing fiddle one minute, sax the next, or perhaps guitar, harmonica, flute, mandolin, bass, trumpet, or drums. He's been known to sing too.
