In 2012, he received the prestigious Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass, recognizing his lasting contributions to the genre.
Joining him is master mandolinist Emory Lester, widely regarded as one of today's premier acoustic musicians. Together, the duo has released several critically acclaimed recordings, including Acoustic Rising, which received an International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Instrumental Album of the Year nomination. Their performances showcase breathtaking instrumental precision, inventive arrangements, and the unmistakable chemistry that comes from more than two decades of making music together. They have toured extensively across the United States and have even appeared alongside Steve Martin on Late Show with David Letterman.
