Roy Andrade – Old Time Banjo

Roy Andrade is a musician, producer and teacher who concerns himself mostly with the old-time music of the south. He was the banjo player for the popular string band Reeltime Travelers, and for subsequent projects with various musicians and groups including New Reeltime Travelers, and the Blue Ridge Entertainers. His years of fieldwork have led to several recordings including the Doc Watson Family box set Milestones (released 2013), of which he is the producer. He continues to write, teach, and produce recordings on traditional music and has been an important part of Targhee Music Camp for the last several years. He is an assistant professor at East Tennessee State University in Bluegrass, Old Time, and Country Music Studies, one of the few places with a bachelors degree in traditional American music.
