The music I play is based in the traditional music of the Southern Mountains. It is a living music, full of variety and excitement. At its heart it is a combination of music from England, Scotland, Ireland and Africa mixed with American spirit. There are old folk songs, ballads and fiddle tunes as well as newly created material. It is a vital, thriving music that is both as old as the hills and new as the rain.

It is out of this rich vein of music that I have carved my own musical path. I had the good fortune of learning from many of the musical greats. My goal is to present what I have learned and created in an honest and musically exciting way. As Doc Watson has told me many times, “You have to play the songs that speak to you, then they will touch other people.”

Here are the music CDs and DVDs I have made. Each one is distinct from the others with its own personality and players. I am proud of each and every one. I know you will enjoy them.
