Mellow sunset banjo vibes from a rooftop in Barcelona. I learned this haunting melody from my father’s band Helicon. They found it in a collection of traditional Greek music. I used to fall asleep to the sound of my dad playing this song on hammered dulcimer. I recorded this tune as a duet with bassist Alex Lacquement on my 2021 solo album Chimney Swifts.
Tuning: Sawmill fCFBbC

Gently pushing all the boundaries of what the banjo is capable of, this is wonderful.

Yeah! I've been thinking about how clawhammer can be used for traditional Greek music. Sounds like I imagined...EXCELLENT! Nice work and looking forward to more. You are one of my favorite clawhammer artists here on YT. Keep up the good work.

Loving this! I play claw hammer and oud, and was just in Ikaria and Chios studying Greek folk music, it’s refreshing to see you making this connection explicit! Are you in Athens here? Also do you know about the musical yards gathering in July in Ikaria ?

I'm based in the USA but I'd love to visit Greece someday!
