More About Me
Bluegrass music has always been a tradition in my family, but I did not pick up the Banjo until I was 16. I started providing my first music lessons in 2007 while I toured with a small time bluegrass band throughout the Inland Northwest.
In 2009, I took a hiatus from music and joined the military. I was stationed in Colorado and spent my free time networking with the Bluegrass community in the Colorado Springs area. In 2015, me and my family relocated to Bellingham, WA. Since then I have worked to re-immerse himself in the craft and language of the Banjo; my ultimate desire is to see a community of Banjo players established in Northwest Washington who can share ideas and support each other creatively.
I am well versed in traditional three-finger "Scruggs" style and Melodic "Keith" style banjo playing. My playing is influenced by traditional and contemporary bluegrass, classic rock, alternative, new acoustic, folk, jazz and much more. My desire is to see the banjo developed beyond its traditional role while maintaining respect for its origins.
