I'm a banjo player, fiddler, singer and songwriter. I play primarily around the Washington, DC, area as a member of the band Big Howdy. I teach banjo and fiddle. I also sit on the board of Bluegrass Country radio. Check us out at www.bluegrasscountry.org. You can find out more about me at www.randybarrett.net.
