Americana and bluegrass is his lifelong love. Having been given a banjo by his Grandmother when he was a teenager, nobody knew then there would be no looking back. He began by teaching himself, and learning by listening to the greats, going to create his own bands and perform/ record with many others. Always striving to learn more about the banjo himself, he takes the opportunity to teach and share as much as possible. Performing all the classic bluegrass numbers, whilst trying to push the boundries with the instrument.
