studio musician

I love to play banjo and sing on records! Some recent projects include Grammy Award-winning “Home” by Tim Kubart, and “The Closest Thing to Home” by Ira Wolf.

In the classroom

I’ve taught banjo and ukulele to all ages, in private lessons and in group classes at some of my favorite places, including Jalopy School of Music and Miles of Music Camp.

You can hear my music in Jenny Slate’s “Stage Fright,” streaming on Netflix in October, 2019.

I’m lucky to play in two bands with some of my best friends.
