Contact Us Links Rory Block has been playing music for most of her life. Coming from a musically gifted family she took up classical guitar at age 10 and soon taught herself flatpicking to accompany her fiddle-playing father at folk festivals, parties and clubs. She made her recording debut at age 12, backing her dad on the Elektra String Band Project, a concept album released by Elektra Records. A brief and unrewarding stint in the middle of that decade saw her recording three albums for two major labels where she unfortunately lacked artistic control. Another hiatus followed.
