play fiddle and banjo in the old-time Appalachian style, mostly. I am a member of Wahoo and the Mud Brothers, high-energy old-time stringbands based around New York City, and have also played honky-tonk fiddle with John Pinamonti. I have appeared on albums with Harry Bolick and friends, Max Greene, and Great Lakes. I am also one of the Dirtballs. Finally, I had the extreme pleasure of playing for a few weeks with Butch Morris and the New Haven Improvisors' Collective.

In other music news, I and Perry Cammack, a DC-based musician, are involved in an ongoing music project called The Orangutan.

Click here for a trip-hop version of Dock Boggs' "Country Blues," recorded in 2007. Joe DeJarnette on bass. Adam Matta on beatbox. Me on banjo and vocals. Everything done live; this was our second take. Nobody can match the holy terror of Dock Boggs's original version; no one else is Dock Boggs. We did our best.
