Ricky Hargis
banjo, vocals
We're proud to welcome Ricky as the new banjo player of GrassStreet. While he may be new to us, he is no stranger to the bluegrass scene. Ricky started playing music around the age of 7, learning to play the autoharp and banjo from a neighbor down the road. He has played with many local and regional bands such as Carolina Express, Younger Mountain Boys, Lovers of Gospel, New Classic Grass, and Second Chance. He can also been seen in the area filling in on banjo and bass with other local bands.
Ricky makes his home in Roxboro, NC, where he is active in his church and community, playing music in nursing homes and playing bass for the church choir.
We're excited to have Ricky playing with us and after you meet him you'll understand why. His finese, melodic style of banjo adds a new dimension to the GrassStreet sound without losing any of our signature drive. You can't help but smile while watching Ricky enjoy himself on stage.
