He’s a multi-instrumentalist and storyteller who plays songs and styles from ragtime and Piedmont blues to traditional folk, old time and early country.

For this episode of “Scenic Roots,” we bring you his performance this spring for TEDxChattanooga’s “Sessions” - a showcase of local musicians and ideas worth spreading - at Barking Legs Theater.

The theme: “Carry On” - the theme for all of TEDxChattanooga’s events this year.
