About Me

I'm 21 years old now and I play the banjo mostly and I'm just starting to learn the fiddle. I sing a lot of ballads, Appalachian and some old Child ballads and other English, Scottish, and Irish ones, and I like learning tunes too.

new songs

So I recorded a couple new songs for fun, they aren't the best, but they were fun, so I'll rotate them on here when I think of it.  I love the banjo.

The Haughs of Cromdale

I made The Haughs of Cromdale today, it doesn't sound great, but there are lots of instruments and I like that.  Dale said that I should make my voice louder on the Foggy Dew, so I made it uncomf...
