Want to find a string band? The Band Directory is a list of some of the bluegrass and old-time string bands around St. Louis, the ones I know about at least.
I was born and raised in Fairmont, Minnesota, a small town just north of the Iowa border. I first came to the St. Louis area to attend college and have pretty much been here ever since.
I host two radio shows TheRootsFM.org.
- Down Yonder (Saturday mornings at 11) celebrates the full range of bluegrass and old-time string band music.
- Beyond (Monday nights at 6pm) explores newgrass and progressive grass from the edges of bluegrass.
I host another bluegrass and old-time music show, Shady Grove (Wednesdays at 10 am) on Community Radio St. Louis.
As a musician, I play mandolin and guitar with a couple of string bands based in St. Louis, most often with Three Crooked Men or The Mound City Slickers.
I make my home across the river from St. Louis in Edwardsville, Illinois, where I live with my wife, Diane, and our three cats. When not at home, you can usually find me on my bike somewhere on the Madison County Trails.
