I had a great time at the DCBU bluegrass jam at the O street Mansion today.

This is Midnight on the Water by Luke Thomasson. It’s come up a few times in the jam sessions that I run but a student brought it to me a few weeks ago and I haven’t been able to put it down since. #bluegrass #flatpicking #guitar #Waltz

I’ll be playing at My Dead Aunt’s Books with Bebe Blumenthal and Ben Cummins this Friday 5/23 at 7:30pm. We’ll be bringing some high lonesome #bluegrass and some rippin fiddle tunes. It’s gonna be fun for the whole family.
Here is me and Bebe playing the John Reischman tune Salt Spring.

This is one of my favorite traditional songs. I love the melody and the imagery of the lyrics. I love the arrangement my bandmate Nick Cameron put together. It’s a real privilege playing with such amazing people. It’s called The Blackest Crow.

This is a tune I wrote for a friend some years ago. I brought it to the band last year and they really brought it to life. I’m thankful to play with such great people.

I am working on this little ditty that I made up. I set out to write a #Bluegrass tune but ended up going in a different direction pretty quickly. What should I call it?

The Chesapeake Wintergrass festival was fantastic. The workshops were great, the shows were great, and I had the opportunity to jam with some of the best players I’ve met. Absolutely 10/10!
