(1927-2006) Master luthier, musician, and teacher. Born in Tennessee, he attended Berea College & graduated from Eastern Kentucky University. Ledford founded the Cabin Creek Band in 1976 & led it for 30 years, entertained on four continents, and performed for five of Kentucky’s governors. Ledford crafted thousands of musical instruments. His banjos, violins, guitars, mandolins, and dulcimers are sought by musicians worldwide. The Smithsonian Institution houses three of his creations— a fretless banjo, an Appalachian dulcimer and a dulcitar, which he copyrighted. He played 13 musical instruments. Patriarch of The Ledford Family, Homer was the husband of Colista Ledford and they are the parents of Cindy Ledford & Julie Ledford.
