Spring Augusta Week
Novice/Beginning Acoustic Guitar
John Rossbach
John Rossbach lifts
up his audiences with the lilt of old time mandolin melodies, rivets them with
lowdown delta blues and fires
them up with driving banjo breakdowns! His compelling songs, horrible
puns, and outrageous tall tales take his audiences for a fun ride
through the fascinating world of traditional American folk music.
He led his award-winning
bluegrass ensemble, John Rossbach & Chestnut
Grove, all across the country for over twenty-two years before
returning to his home state of West Virginia, in 2009. He has recorded
on Rounder Records, has received eight Meet the Composer awards,
won six SAMMY awards, and appeared on numerous radio and television
programs for the Nashville Network, PBS, CBS, the BBC, and the
Canadian Broadcasting System. He’s even sung his jaunty hit, “The
Freight Train Boogie,” on a 2006 episode of the CBS drama series,
The Guiding Light!
John has also recorded on Philo, Copper Creek, Chestnut, Marimac,
Wizmak and Alcazar Records. He appears on CDs and videos ranging
from Celtic to rock by Pete Seeger, Bill Keith, The Woodshed All
Stars, Ken Perlman, Don Stover, and The Back Alley Boys. John has
been the staff guitarist and mandolin player for Mandolin Camp
North, Banjo Camp North and Old Time Camp North. John has performed
at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Champlain Valley Folk Festival,
the Chautauqua Institution, Old Songs, Wheatlands, Winterhawk,
Ashokan, Brandywine and Clifftop.
