Tom Bekeny is among the most adventurous mandolinists, creating thrilling solos as well as solid backup by using influences ranging from his thorough grounding in blues to his mastery of Jesse McReynolds’ “split string” technique. Tom is a veteran of Laurie Lewis & Grant Street and The Done Gone Band, and has been the fiddler in High Country, the west coast’s premier traditional bluegrass band, for nearly 25 years. Tom also plays in a jazz trio and with Bill Evans (9)' "Bangers & Grass," and has released both a mandolin instruction DVD and a CD of jazz standards titled "Jazzolin."
