Chip is originally from Massachussettes.
He has been in Georgia since 1972.
He has been playing the banjo since
about 1972. After putting it down for 15 years,
he picked it up again in
2000. Having first learned
the 2-finger
style from local old timers, he is now known by many for his unique picking. Chip's greatest inspiration is
Will Keys from East Tennessee. Chip plays a '70's OME Juggernaut and it's his
favorite banjo, yet.
Tish was born in Delaware, but has
been down south
since she was three years old. She
was raised in a tiny copper
mining town in the southeast corner
of Tennessee
next to the Georgia/North Carolina borders.
She has been playing the guitar since 1967.
It wasn't until she met Chip that she began playing old time music. She picked up on it right away and has come to love playing
the rhythmic old time tunes.
