Name: Jon Magee Country: United States State/Province: Pennsylvania City: Hustontown Interests: Trading riffs, whistling dixie, etc. Instruments: Banjo, vocals. Email: jpmagee at sbcglobal dot net Phone: (814) 448-xxxx |
Styles/Influences, Other Info: I've been playing the banjo for a good while, though I've played many instruments before it, and I still have a soft spot for the button box. I've picked up a good number of regional picking styles, but I'm not one to split hairs--I am more interested in making music than I am in recreating a particular personality, place, or style. I generally always use picks on my Mastertone-style banjo, but none on my fretless. I like music with fire, but could do without machine-gun antics. Doc Watson is a favorite picker of mine, as are Sam McGee and Uncle Dave. I write many of my own arrangements and try to keep things fresh with a fair bit of improvisation. I work a vegetable farm in a very rural area of southern Huntingdon County, and my work week is rather long, but there are not many other players around here and I'd not mind traveling a bit to get together. Our weekend markets are in Washington, DC, so I have easy access to the metro area Saturdays and Sundays. Report problem
