John Lennon Award Winning Songwriter and Clawhammer Banjo Player


In response to unethical practices by major streaming platforms, I have removed my music from their catalogues.   You can click here to read a full statement on why I’m leaving. To find my music on the fair trade platform Bandcamp, click here.

Proud to be a Featured Artist of the Pisgah Banjo Co.  Check out the profile and their fine selection of banjos here.
