http://www.facebook.com/PA.Grain http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Rounders/151169944950094 Ever-evolving, ALWAYS learning, Banjo player from the bustling metropolis of Millheim PA, centered in the heart of Penn's Valley, which is centered in the heart of Centre County, which is centered in the heart of Central Pennsylvania. I currently play in two bands, the first, The Rounders, I have been playing with since 2006. The second is Grain, a band who just had me sit in with them for a show in August 2011, and asked me to stay on, so I gladly did. I taught myself how to play, starting with guitar, than moving solely to banjo, and it is because of this that my technique is ALL f'd up. Traditionally speaking, everything I do is wrong. I play by ear, and I try always to play with heart and feeling.... I feel I can hold my own in a bluegrass jam, but I also don't shy away from criticism by any means, I want to hear the good and the bad and I want to learn from it. ALWAYS LEARN. Please don't be a stranger. I'm a nice fellow, I build fences for Christ's sake! Ain't no one more friendly than your local Fence builder!! *there's no evidence to back up that last claim...
