About our guest artists: Bruce and Kelly Stockwellwww.stockwellbrothers.com
Bruce Stockwell has been playing bluegrass banjo since 1968, and teaching since the '70s. By age 16, he had won banjo contests, recorded his first album and opened for Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, John Hartford and many others. In the late '70s, he worked with Phil Rosenthal and Mike Auldridge as Old Dog, releasing two albums on Flying Fish. Since then, Bruce has performed with his brothers Barry and Alan (and now wife Kelly) in various acoustic/electric formats. In 2005, he won the Merlefest Banjo Contest, and in 2008, a NH Arts Grant led to the formation of Hot Mustard, a double-banjo bluegrass band. He currently performs with Kelly, Barry and Alan as the contemporary folk and bluegrass quartet The Stockwell Brothers.
