Mark Johnson with his Deering Clawgrass banjo • •


Mark Johnson, the “father of clawgrass,” plays banjo in a unique style. He describes it as “very bluegrass but with overtones of traditional folk, progressive acoustic, newgrass and old-timey all mixed into one.” Mark’s unique style demands a banjo that can be played with ultimate finesse and powerful precision. Te natural walnut and powerful Deering -06- tone ring combine to make Mark’s original style of play a joy for all who listen to it.
