CMA Award-winning fiddle, mandolin, and banjo player. Credits include Dierks Bentley, Post Malone, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, John Fogerty, and more.
I am a professional session/touring multi-instrumentalist based in Nashville, TN. I have more than twenty years experience and have toured and/or recorded with a wide array of artists. For the past thirteen years, I have been a member of Dierks Bentley's band, playing fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, and serving as bandleader. My fiddle and/or banjo playing can be heard on several Dierks Bentley albums including Riser, The Mountain, and his latest release, Gravel and Gold.
In 2016 and again in 2022, I was honored to be named the CMA Touring Musician of the Year. Although my background is rooted in country and Americana music, I'm open to any and all styles. I'm looking forward to working on your next project!
