Hello and welcome to my website. I am a fiddler and guitarist and play bluegrass and western swing with passion!
For many years, I have played on the Australian music scene as a sideman and as a bandleader. I have always loved the 'classic' sound of traditional music and my influences include the great players of the genres. I have also been lucky enough to play with many talented Australian singers and musicians, who have all helped in shaping my musical style.
I'll keep you posted here about gigs and news - feel free to contact me.
You can find the latest Baylor Brothers CD here. We have had a great reaction to it and the gigs we played promoting it. It has been especially great for me catching up with so many old friends and acquaintances from the old ('80s and '90s) days and it was great to relive some fun (and pretty wild) times! We are certainly looking forward to doing more gigs and festivals when our individual schedules allow.
Things have been quiet on the gig front lately but are now picking up. I have been busy with a new fabulous new fiddle I bought from crackerjack bluegrass musician, Ron Stewart as well as my magnificent Paul Duff mandolin, so there is plenty of inspiration there!
Big news is the announcement of the first 'Bluegrass Music Cruise' featuring many of the finest Australian and New Zealand bluegrass bands (with a few US ring-ins!). It should be a great experience and everybody I know is looking forward to it - the bands and those who have already booked their place. It begins in Sydney and ends up in Fremantle (via NZ and TAS). Bluegrass Parkway will be doing the Auckland to Hobart leg.
