    Tony Trischka is not only considered among the very best banjo pickers of the roots music world, but, having created numerous instructional books and videos, he's also one of the instrument's top teachers. The musicians he has mentored and with whom he has played reads like a "who's who" (Bela Fleck, Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen to name a few) of popular music. Trischka's interest in banjo was sparked by the Kingston Trio in 1963 and he's been performing and recording ever since. In October 2007, his album, Double Banjo Bluegrass Spectacular, earned him numerous International Bluegrass Music Association awards and a Grammy nomination. With his fearless musical curiosity as the guiding force, Trischka's latest critically acclaimed release, Territory, roams widely through the banjo's creative terrain.
