I was raised in the Bootheel of southern Missouri with the sounds of Southern Gospel, Classical, Cowboy Country, and a little Rock and Roll. The music of the rural Baptist churches I attended growing up came alive with the sounds of gospel harmony. I was struck by the emotion the music was able to evoke, a feeling that has stayed with me for my whole life.

When I first heard Bluegrass music, I deeply connected with it right away. It embodied all of the musical sounds and culture from my childhood. I was hooked on traditional Bluegrass and especially the sound of the BANJO. It was the sound track of my youth. 

It makes me so happy to play Scruggs and Clawhammer/Old Time style banjo. I love Bluegrass music so much and am excited to share it with you.
