I've been playing 3 finger style banjo for about 30 years and clawhammer seven i. I've been lucky enough to tour the states, singapore and a six month gig in japan. i've also toured australia with singer songwriter Paul Kelly and played at many festivals with different bands. I'm a full time musician- teaching, gigs and recording.
