I am so excited to be performing in the Band and Banjo Competitions at the 2022 Freshgrass Music Festival! The finalists this year are all great players and writers and I am honored to be among them.
I was asked to participate in the 2021 awards but I had to bow out due to injuries I got from a car accident last August. Appearing at the 2022 festival is a dream come true, as I have always wanted to attend the festival and to bring a great band there.
