Josh Goforth

Josh Goforth plays fiddle, guitar, banjo and mandolin, and his sets mix tunes and old ballads with stories from the mountain communities he grew up among. As a young fiddler he appeared in the film Songcatcher, which drew on the ballad tradition of the North Carolina mountains.

Goforth has spent years performing alongside the musician and storyteller David Holt, trading instruments and tales on stage, and he also works as a teacher of traditional music.
