Intermediate Banjo
Faculty
Kevin Howard comes to us from Letcher County, Kentucky. He has deep roots in old time and traditional music. A banjo teacher as well as performer, Kevin sees music as a vehicle for storytelling, and mountain music as a uniquely honest genre. His repertoire is comprised of the old-time tunes, hymns and banjo ballads of east Kentucky and influenced by George Gibson, Buell Kasee, Rufus Crisp and Doc Boggs. His first solo recording Crossing the Mountain Line was released by June Appal Records in 2015. Kevin has served as teaching assistant, instructor, and Artistic Director at the Cowan Creek Mountain Music School.
