Judd FrazierÂ
OWNER | OPERATOR | TEACHER'S ASSISTANTÂ
Judd built and runs Banjo Mountain. If there’s something wrong, he’s to blame. 🙂
He has been playing banjo for 10 years and loves playing banjo in nature, including taking it into the wild on backpacking, camping and overlanding trips. A novice in clawhammer style, he mainly plays three-finger bluegrass banjo.
In addition to banjo, Judd plays fingerstyle and bluegrass guitar.
