BANJO PLAYER, SINGER, SONGWRITER, BANJO BUILDER
My original music is rooted in rock, folk, soul, bluegrass, old time, and funk. I am a traditional banjo player applying classic techniques to broad genres.
Catch me performing live - playing solo, with guitarist Chuck Lewis, or with my bluegrass band The Alumatics - playing innovative takes on popular songs and my own original music
My unique acoustic and electric banjos are 5-string, 6-string, 7-string, and 8-string. My 8-string acoustic bass banjo is the latest and most complex banjo I have built yet.
