I play banjo for the Randy Kohrs Band. The band has a great sound and a wonderful group of musicians... great fun! I recently moved to Nashvegas and love the area!
I started with a strong Scruggs base and added a melodic and
chromatic twist.One of my
strongest influences as a teenager was Mike Snider.His tasteful playing seemed like the
right way to play.I still love his
playing today.
I strive to play clean yet tasty banjo.In May of 2007 I released my debut CD
entitled Winds of Winfield.Supplying their tremendous skills on the CD is Grammy Award winning Randy Kohrs, also Grammy Award winning Cody
Kilby and Andy Leftwich.Cody also
engineered the CD at his studio in Nashville, TN with the assistance of Grammy Award winning Phil Harris.Bryn Davies supplied
powerful bass playing talent to finish off the instrumental melodies.
I had the chance to travel the contest circuit and meet some
amazing bluegrassers!It's a
privilege to play music and share the passion that goes with the language of
music.
Hey Mike! Thanks a million! I don't think that I can make it to IBMA though, I believe I've got a private gig, although I could probably find a replacement. Either way, if I end up going, I'll be sure to let you know! Thanks again for everything, Mike. And about Super Grouper, I'm glad that I played it like you suggested. I'd planned on doing it, but I still wasn't 100% until you said that you thought that I should. It's quite an awesome piece! Thank Noam for me! -Steven

Okay - seriously Mike. I was just on the Ome website drooling over the beautiful banjos- hoping someday I can get one... anyway- happy to see your smiling face on the site. Good pic :)

Hey Mike! Thanks so much for the add! The music sounds great, and I'll have to grab a copy of the project for myself. I'll be looking forward to catching a Randy Kohrs show sometime soon! Take care :)
