ABOUT

Originally played "Southern/Barnyard Rock" in the early 70's ie. Alman Bros., Pure Prairie League, Marshal Tucker, Buffalo Springfield, etc. till the mid 80's. Started flatpicking in bluegrass bands till the mi8d 90's when I started fiddling in an Irish band. Shifted to Appalachian string band stuff. I now teach workshops and perform at major music festivals around the state, give private lessons on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar, and perform at private and corporate events.
