Joe Newberry

Joe Newberry (Music) is a Missouri native and North Carolina transplant who has made music most of his life.  His grandfather was friends with the great folk song collector, Vance Randolph, and Joe grew up singing the old songs he learned from his family in the Ozarks. Joe is also a banjo champion, having won first-place at the Appalachian String Band Music Festival.  He plays with Jim Watson, Mike Craver, and Bill Hicks-the original Red Clay Ramblers, and with Big Medicine.
