I perform a wide range of roots music styles on guitar, banjo, and steel. A typical set might include a slide guitar piece, a fingerpicked Piedmont blues, or a driving tune in the style of Merle Travis. I take inspiration from the many traditional musicians that I've met over the years, including John Jackson, John Cephas, and Kinney Rorrer. I also enjoy listening to the OGs of American roots music from my large collection of early recordings on 78-rpm records.
