SEEKING
Band to Join, Acoustic Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Fiddle, Upright bass, Ukulele.ABOUT
I play old time fiddle music, and mandolin. That is dance music and front porch pickin' tunes: two-steps, waltzes, reels, slow airs.
I have a good repertoire of civil war tunes, and Scandinavian wedding dance tunes, as well as Appalachian old time. I have square dances, garden parties, and at museums and galleries.
I love to jam, and so you may find me at a Saturday jam in St. Paul, the Wednesday old-time jam at the Blackwater Cafe, or at Farmers Markets around the Twin Cities.
I'd love to find someone who plays old time mandolin, washboard, or a rhythm player who chords by ear on acoustic guitar.
