Martin Grosswendt has been exploring the roots and branches of American acoustic music for more than 50 years, having cut his teeth on his older sister’s LPs of Mississippi John Hurt and the Kweskin Jug Band. A master of pre-war blues and other southern traditional music, his fingerpicking, bottleneck playing and singing move audiences, critics and musicians alike. He's taught at music camps in across the U.S. and Canada and in the United Kingdom. His musicianship is matched by his knowledge of the music's sources and creators.
