Haven't been playing a lot lately, but planning to get back out and play some gigs. Let me know if you hear of venues looking for a musician or an open mic night! In the mean time, check out ajbennettmusic on TikTok and YouTube! Here's a cover I did awhile back.

In addition to playing country, bluegrass, acoustic pop, Americana, classic rock, and whatever else I feel like playing, sometimes I time travel to the 18th century for a bit of fiddling and gourd banjar playing. If you're interested in that sort of thing, you should also check out the living history band I'm part of: The Greasy Breeches.

Tested the Ol' Peavey Setup (quietly for the sake of wife and upstairs neighbors.) Works great! Glad to be dusting it off and getting back into playing out Friday!
Playing my first solo gig in a while this Friday at the MOD in Midtown Mooresville from 6-8. If you're around that area come on out! Tell your Mooresville/Statesville/Charlotte area friends too.
