Mike Fritz- Banjo
"Fritz" is known for clean tasty banjo playing that displays the importance of dynamics and drive. His Scruggs style picking combined with a jazz and blues sensibility makes for delightful listening and adds to Lineage's signature sound. Mike's Grandpa gave him his first banjo, and he has been hooked from the start. You could say that the banjo "picked" him. He has studied with many great players such as Tony Trishka, Rob McCoury and more. Fritz is also a home-brewer, and enjoys tasty craft beverages alongside tasty banjo licks.
