Who is Riley Baugus?

Riley Baugus represents the very best of old time clawhammer banjo and song. His expert musicianship place him squarely in the next generation of the quality American roots tradition.

He is a native of the southern Appalachians. His family roots lie in the Blue Ridge

mountains of North Carolina, and he grew up learning the music of the region from older

musicians in the area.In his performances, Riley focuses on old time songs, ballads

and tunes from the Blue Ridge, and the stories that accompany them.

Riley has been called on to play and sing on many projects through the years,

including for the Academy Award winning film Cold Mountain, the multi-Grammy winning

recording by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss Raising Sand, and with Willie Nelson on

his recording Country Music.

He makes his home near Walkertown, NC, and when not performing or teaching, he

builds finely, handcrafted old time banjos.
