Press Reviews "An amazing talent on the tenor banjo." Quabbin Herald "Brings to life the blues so that you can taste it." Gourmet Review"A treasure!" Deep Mine Gazette "When I first walked in and heard the sounds of the banjo and tuba, I thought I was in New Orleans Bourbon Street district." Lost City Tribune"What masterful playing!" Children's Times"A voice for all ages." AARP JournalYou won't find BanjoHead at any of the Hollywood shows or even in thecheck out line at the grocery store, but you can run into him at the New Salemdump on Saturday morning. He has been known to adroitly operate a grocerycart and he isn't partial to people who can't pass through a metaldetector without setting it off. He has learned after 35 years of playing the tenorbanjo that it is better to trim your nails outside than trying to do it onthe couch. His style has been compared to all the dead banjo players whocouldn't sing worth a lick. His versatility is evident when he launchesinto a 40-minute version of All Along The Watch Tower with a polka beat. Herecently closed out a 6-night run at Murphy's Athol Palace by beingevicted from the joint.His style is uniquely his, cause no one else would even admit tounderstanding what and how he plays the banjo. Every banjo group in North America has shunned him, because he burned his straw hat and suspenders.Now he has found musician's who have never heard of him and will accept hismoney to record one more CD.This is the triumphant return, of a tenor banjo master who never left us,Kevin BanjoHead Gadde.
