CURRENT MISSION

Playing oldtime music all over the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm a touring musician looking to get more out of the travel than a hotel provides. I'll happily trade banjo lessons for couch space, or just geek out about old music and audio gear, if you're into that.

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a clawhammer banjo teacher, can teach some upright bass and guitar, too. I can troubleshoot your PA or home studio. Teach you very old songs and share obscure hillbilly records on mp3.
