On Saturday Oct. 16 at 1:30PM CDT, I will give a performance/workshop at the Harmonica UK Festival, where I'll cover many of the styles I play in and talk about my career, the way I learn, practice, and more. Looking forward greatly to this. https://www.harmonicauk.net/festival-21/

In this week’s episode of the ArtistWorks Music Series podcast, ArtistWorks cofounder Patricia Butler sits down with Grammy award-winning master musician, founding member of the Punch Brothers, and ArtistWorks banjo instructor, Noam Pikelny, to discuss the concept of “How to Find Your Own Sound.” Together, they explore the process of developing a unique voice as a player, how to embrace outside influence while still expressing yourself musically, and the importance of focusing on tone as much as note choice and execution when performing. The show is available wherever you listen to podcasts, or you can listen here at ArtistWorks.

We are excited to announce that ArtistWorks has officially joined a consortium of major online music education companies, which includes TrueFire, JamPlay, and FaderPro. The collective are all portfolio companies of private equity firm, Growth Catalyst Partners. These four firms provide musicians around the world with music instruction on dozens of instruments and genres while delivering access to Grammy Award-winning artists, top session players, and world-renowned educators.
