Description
Corbin Hayslett, age 15, has fast become an accomplished performer of old time, traditional and acoustic Americana music. His skills on the banjo span historical early styles as well as Old Time "claw hammer" or "frailing" and Blue Grass picking. Corbin weaves the history of "America's instrument" through shows with His lively stage presence and singing with his dry wit adding to his family-friendly performances.

Winner of numerous awards (most recently, First Place in Youth Banjo at both the Galax Fiddlers Convention and the VA State Fair), this modern minstrel on the five-string plays several styles of banjos, as well as guitar, dulcimer, jaw harp and sings solo. He has played with and under the tutelage of numerous masters, including the McKenzies, the Amazing Jim Lloyd and the late/great, Mike Seeger. He has also appeared live on WVTF's Back to the Blue Ridge.

Don't miss his toe tapping, hand clapping, "great fun" performance!
