Biography

Martin Grosswendt, once described by Utah Phillips as "a rumor in his own time," has been a performer, session musician and teacher for more than three decades. A multi-instrumentalist and singer long known as an interpreter of 1920s and '30s blues, Martin is equally at home playing the old-time music of the Southern Appalachians or the Cajun and Creole music of Southwest Louisiana. He plays six- and twelve-string guitar, five-string banjo, mandolin, fiddle, bass, Cajun accordion, and Dobro. Martin is music co-director and teaches at Banjo Camp North and Old Time Music Camp North, and has performed and taught at numerous festivals.
