Growing up in the frozen north I was first exposed to classical music by my parents. Halfway through grade school I started to rebel and discovered early country music by listening to the radio at night. The BBC and WBAI Radio out of NYC were early influences.
Yale University had a folk coffee house called the Enormous Room. I spent many hours there listening to people from the likes of John Roberts and Tony Barrand to Ralph Stanley and Don Reno and Red Smiley.
I started playing bass with a band out of Rochester, NY called the Swamp Root String Band in the mid 1970's. Then moved to Lexington, Virginia in 1976. It was a mecca of Old Time Music at the time with Plank Road and Ace Weems.
After a couple of years of driving a truck to support my music habits and just a little bit of boredom, I left to join a regionally turing band called the Falls City Ramblers who were out of Louisville, KY.

I'm influenced by all styles of music, art and anybody who does something that is interesting to me.

I play banjo with Clack Mountain String Band and do solo performances as well. I was born and raised in old Kentucky and that is the music that is so dear to my heart.

I also help organize the Morehead Old Time Fiddlers Convention during the last full weekend in July in Morehead, KY.
