So glad to learn of another young musician carrying on the tradition of this wonderful music. I liked his observation that the music of eastern Tennessee is soulful, as it certainly is. I love the oldest recordings that captured that quality of the music at its very best. I look forward to an important contribution to bluegrass music from this young talented musician who at such a young age has already earned the recognition and respect of his elder mentors.

Wow, this is typical American story, that nowhere else is possible! Playing at this age with Bobby Osbourne, Ricky Skaggs, Sierra Hull Marty Stuart and the Del McCoury Band, releasing an album with Sierra Hull. I' m totally impressed. Gobo. Young man, your talent is phenomenal! You open the door to the next chapter of Bluegrass. You all young guys are the next generation. That's outstanding. In Germany where I'm from not similar like in USA . Good luck from Germany P.S.I forgot Bily Strings😅

hey wyatt..nice pickin' there, my friend. you've got the gift. finish school- do what ya gotta do. but i think the best education you'll ever get will happen on a tour bus. and if you want an old piano player in your band, i'm in. i'm sure you already know jarrod walker, but are you familiar with matt mundy? you need to be. keep the faith, young man. guys like you are the future, and it looks pretty bright 😊
