The Role of the Old Time Banjo –
In the modern old time string band, the fiddle plays the melody, the bass booms, and the guitar chucks. But what does the banjo do? Learn about the great power and great responsibility we share as banjo players. We'll focus on rhythms, groove, syncopation, harmonies, and translating fiddle tune melodies to the clawhammer banjo.

Clawhammer Meditations for Modern Humans
BENNY BLEU--
“New York-native, Benny Bleu is a geologist by trade, banjo player and singer-songwriter who touches on our connections with the natural world and each other.” – Putumayo World Music
Benny Bleu Haravitch plays old time banjo in the Finger Lakes of upstate New York, a region defined by deep lake valleys and steep highlands. This up-and-down is reflected in the local flavor of fiddle tunes, and Benny Bleu’s banjo sways along having studied and performed with regional old-time visionaries Mac Benford, Richie Stearns, Judy Hyman, and Bruce Molsky. His clawhammer banjo playing is like a marching band – the bugle melodies in lock-step with the drum corps. On March of the Mollusk, a new album of meditative banjo tunes, Haravitch holds true to the local tradition and offers a collection of grooves soothing in their dance-like delivery. He invites us to walk with the cadence of a snail through the woods. For only by softening our pace could we hope to answer the conundrum of modern existence together.
