Additional news: ~Bradley Kramer wrote a fantastic article on Buckeye Banjos at The Glory-Beaming Banjo. ~Check out the new Buckeye Banjos Facebook page! I've been having a lot of fun using FB to post occassional updates from the shop, including pictures of banjos currently under way and designs for upcoming banjos, as well as experimental ideas and practice pieces I've been working on. ~There is a new Buckeye Banjos Sticker - just contact me and I'll be happy to send you a couple! ~My good buddy Nathan Bowles, of the Black Twig Pickers, just released a solo banjo album entitled "A Bottle, A Buckeye"! He recorded the entire album using his Buckeye #101, and it is getting great reviews (Pitchfork). ~Nora Jane Struthers just released a fabulous new Americana CD and all the banjo work is done by Joe Overton, on his two Buckeye banjos! ~I'm also honored to be included in the North American Banjo Builders Documentary Series, which was created by Craig Evans. He just finished the third in the series and they will become a permanent part of the Smithsonian Folkways "Instrument Builders" collection later this year. There is a short Teaser of the Buckeye Banjos episode available on Vimeo! ...and, last but not least, check out the amazing Tin Type our friend Lisa Elmaleh did of the shop last summer!
