It's great to see someone you know reach that level, especially in such a competitive field such as music, even more so in jazz, playing violin of all things! I haven't heard him but if he's played with such elites as Chick Corera and Snarky Puppy he has to one bad a** Mofo. I wish him well !

One question Russ, just curious about his background. I assume he is classically trained? Also being from Kentucky, I wonder if he has a background in bluegrass?
