Greg Adams - Special guest and dear friend

Greg C. Adams(www.myspace.com/banjargreg) is a musician, archivist, and early banjo researcher. He holds a BA in Music History from Youngstown State University and a Masters in Library and Information Sciences from the University of Maryland, College Park. Currently, Greg is working on another masters degree at the University of Maryland, this time in Ethnomusicology.

Greg's collaborative banjo-focused research (www.myspace.com/banjoroots) includes early banjo performance practice, the study of such West African instruments as the Jola ekonting (akonting) and the Bamana ngoni as well as the general study of early American black face minstrelsy. He regularly performs both historical and modern interpretations of 19th Century popular music throughout the mid-Atlantic region. He currently resides with his wife, Maggie, in Maryland.

Home Front is, indeed, honored and pleased to be able to include Greg in our performances as his schedule and circumstances permit (if his puns don't kill us first!).
