I'm a banjo player and composer rooted in bluegrass, old-time, jazz, and new acoustic music. I've toured with David Grisman, was a founding member of Old School Freight Train, and have recorded for Acoustic Disc, Adhyâropa Records, CMH Records, and the Fiddle Masters series. My solo albums, Heart Lake (2019) and Hidden Animals (2023) feature original compositions for banjo, fiddle, bass, drums, and cello. I teach ethnomusicology classes at Temple University and teach private banjo lessons online and in person in Philadelphia. My flexible teaching style accommodates the varied interests, abilities, and goals of my students. Typical lessons focus on building repertoire, honing technique, and setting intentions around jamming, practicing, listening, and learning. I am currently writing a book about how musicians stay motivated, and I love talking with students about all aspects of creative process.
