Richie Stearns -- Electronic Press Kit
Channel: Bryan Root
Date: 15/01/2013

Richie Stearns has been playing banjo for 37 years and has become something of a folk hero in the region where he lives. Despite being famously uncompetitive and shy of self-promotion, he has risen to international prominence and was invited to participate in Bela Fleck's New York Banjo Summit, along with such luminary banjo players as Tony Trischka, Eric Weisberg (Dueling Banjos), Bill Keith, Noam Pikelny, and his collaboration with Pete Seeger was just nominated for a Grammy Award.

Richie is a founding member of many bands including the Horse Flies, Red Dog Run, Ti-TI Chickopea, Donna The Buffalo, The Evil City Stringband, The Bubba George Stringband and a featured player for countless other bands and recordings including Natalie Merchant, and Pete Seeger (Grammy Nomination 2013). He has also released two solo albums, "Richie Stearns Solo" and "Missing."  He released "Tractor Beam," with Rosie Newton in February 2013 and will be releasing a first album with Red Dog Run, featuring Richie, Rosie Newton, Jim Miller and Jed Greenberg.
