I'm a banjo player living and working in Nashville, TN. I have a humble home studio where I run Logic and track with some of my favorite mics and a Grace m201mk2 preamp. Let's make some music!

    Excellent musician! Charles was quick to communicate and his turn around was fast! He submitted two takes and they were both perfect! I am so glad I found him on here and got a chance to add him to my track “Kiss Me” out summer of 2026!

    Appreciate the chance to work with Charles and his expressive playing. He laid a strong foundation that I can build on with my virtual stringed backing band that I hear for this song. I also appreciate his flexibility 🙂

    Great playing and communication.. 2 top shelf banjo tracks to comp from and one revision to just fit with the rhythm of the vocal in one spot.. a pleasure to work with, I'll be back for more.
