Banjo- it's not just for breakfast anymore.

About Me

I play banjo (and have for 20 some years!) and try to play it in as many styles as possible- classical, rock, bluegrass, jazz etc. I have two banjos, a Stelling and an electric Goldtone EBM and these days they're both getting a lot of use!I played and recorded with Trespassers Will, i like pie, and Sonic Leon. I was in several other bands and musical things like bands. Thanks to the internet, I've collaborated with musicians from all over the world- Jeza in the UK, Dark Blue Man in the UK, Anthony Ruocco in New York, Our Religion in Texas, and more. At the moment I'm working on writing and recording solo banjo music, sitting in with a few bands and working with my friend Anthony Ruocco on some banjo/piano duet music.In the past I've played on albums by Jeza, Our Religion, Trespassers Will and i like pie and written material for Sonic Leon. A song from my band Trespassers Will was on the soundtrack for The Real World several years ago even.Aside from music, I also own a small stained glass business, One Sun Stained Glass LLC. You know what I hear? Stained glass makes a great gift!
