I'm in this band. check us out at myspace.com/dustfarmers

Just another bluegrass-listening, shorts-wearing, telemark-skiing, hippie-type person. I've also been called out as a yuppie in a small mountain newspaper. I play guitar, mandolin, mostly in the jamgrass genre, if you will. I'm definitely not a traditional bluegrass musician, but I play mainly acoustic music, so the stereotypical jamband description is also out.

My Interests

bluegrass, jamgrass, newgrass, acoustic guitar, mandolin, folk music, singer-songwriters, Yonder Mountain String Band, YMSB, Benny Galloway, The Seldom Scene, Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Larry Keel, John Gorka, Tristan Prettyman, Kaki King, Michael Hedges, David Wilcox, The Smiths, Talking Heads, John Hartford, Noam Pikelny, Wayword Sons, Pinback, Built To Spill, Calexico, Pedro the Lion, The Decemberists, other indie rockers, skiing, telemark skiing, colorado, fly fishing, grand county, winter park, vail, camping, hiking, road trips, bluegrass festivals, irish whiskey
