Country and Bluegrass Mandolin

12 years of experience on the mandolin in both studio and live settings with a specialty in bluegrass and country mandolin. I'm a working musician based out of Nashville, TN offering specialized mandolin on here. I attended Belmont University's commercial music program with mandolin as my primary instrument.

My name is Rico Wallenda, and I'm offering my services as a session mandolinist. Whether you have a song that needs a bit more texture, or if you want to highlight the mandolin on a specific track, I'm here to give you whatever you may want out of this fun little instrument. I attended Belmont University as a student in the commercial music program, and within that I chose an emphasis on music technology.

My first thought when considering what to track for any project is how can this instrument serve the song, and genuinely add value to it? It's fun to sit down and find what the song is calling for out of the mandolin. I like to think that I'm very 'coachable' when tracking, meaning that if there is input from the producer or artist I'm capable and willing to change up the idea or approach to better serve those interests.
