Bio
Jordan Ramsey attended East Tennessee State University and played with the school’s top bluegrass ensemble from ’05 until ’07. As a part of the ETSU “Pride Band” (led by former Jim and Jesse banjo player Raymond McLain), he honed his McReynolds’ style cross-picking skills and had the opportunity the share the stage with stars like Porter Wagoner, Ralph Stanley, Curley Seckler, Tater Tate, Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski, Hunter Berry, and Adam Steffey. He studied under mandolin master and cross-picking devotee Jack Tottle, founder of the ETSU bluegrass program and one of the only second generation players to dissect and transcribe Jesse’s playing. Jordan specializes in McReynolds’ style cross-picking, but is well versed in most other bluegrass styles, as well as jazz, swing, and classical idioms. He left his native Tennessee for Colorado in late ’07 and won the following year’s RockyGrass Mandolin Competition. A full-time position with Long Road Home followed in the fall of ’08, and he has quickly made a name for himself in the Front Range for inventive, powerful playing. In addition to playing with LRH, Jordan works as a freelance musician in the area and teaches private lessons at his home studio in Boulder.
