1. THE “ROCK” BANJO For those that have seen us play recently, you’ll know that we’ve coined a new phrase for Dave Dunwell’s distinctive style of Banjo playing on I Could Be a King - the “Rock” Banjo - mainly because he plays with a flat pick like an electric guitar! We recorded the track “I Could Be A King” in Austin, Texas at Willie Nelson’s perdanales studios last summer. The distinctive tone you hear on the record comes from a beautiful Deering Black Diamond banjo (pictured above) that was borrowed for the session. We’re excited to announce that in 2012 we will be taking a Deering Banjo on the road! For those who don’t know, Deering make the finest quality Banjos - all hand made in America, so we are proud to be associated with this great company. The banjo we are using on the road is a Sierra acoustic/electric model.  http://www.deeringbanjos.com/sierra-5-string-acoustic-electric-banjo
