Strum Hollow Acoustic Music
Description
We have been performing together and teaching Old Time, Blues, Folk and Swing music for over 25 years. In our teaching, we incorporate both private and group instruction to rapidly develop the individual's potential. We then encourage them to play in the musical community where they are highly welcome for their keen sense of musicianship.
Collectively, our students and ourselves have won over 50 ribbons and cash prizes at local and statewide competitions including the prestigious Edward Lee Flemming Jr. Award for musical excellence at the Florida Old Time Music Championship 2000.
In 1982, we combined our musical talents and artistic abilities with life long woodworking skills to produce exceptionally fine musical instruments. Our first project was a hammered dulcimer. Having a great desire for different instruments, we went on to build a thumb piano, bowed psalteries, tongue drums, lap dulcimers, musical spoons, a Dobro and banjos. Our first banjo was a fretless mountain banjo with a Possum skin. We then made a fretted open back banjo for that old time clawhammer sound. At festivals, people were impressed with our banjo and started asking if we would make one for them. And like they say, the rest is history.
