The EC Mandolin Player, by himself, he sounds like several of the world’s finest mandolinists performing together. His stylistic signature is Classical, with strong influences from the Italian and American Folk traditions. Country guitar legend Chet Atkins called him “One of the few great musicians of our time.”
Inspired by Atkins and violinist Jascha Heifetz, he has created a uniquely recognizable approach to solo mandolin performance that combines bass lines, chords, rhapsodic runs and tremolo melodies. He started Classical violin studies at age seven, and added the mandolin at age 14.
In addition to solo performances throughout the country, The EC Mandolin Player has been a Featured Guest Artist in Pops concerts with a number of Symphony Orchestras, including Houston, Phoenix, Long Beach, Grand Rapids, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Jacksonville, and Pensacola.
In 1995 The EC Mandolin Player made his first appearance on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. Between 1993 and 2005 he was a Featured Soloist at Disneyland, performing his signature William Tell Overture: Finale for about two million visitors to the famous Golden Horseshoe Theater during the course of 10,000 shows. He has performed and taught at numerous regional and international conferences for mandolinists, who hold The EC Mandolin Player in particularly high regard; Don Stiernberg has referred to him as “The Michael Jordan of the mandolin.”
