About Me

I am an Old-time fiddle, banjo, and guitar player from Morgantown, WV, that has recently migrated south to Nashville, TN. I've performed in several configurations over the years playing both Old-time and Irish music, including the Morgantown Rounders, The Woodticks, Stewed Mulligan and a trio w/Adam Hurt and Abe Folmsbee. Currently, I am performing solo and also with a contra dance band called the Rock Farmers.
