Ned Luberecki has been teaching and playing bluegrass banjo for over 25 years, having been part of Paul Adkins' Borderline Band, Radio Flyer, the Gary Ferguson Band, and the Rarely Herd (the latter won SPBGMA's Entertaining Band of the Year award several times). Ned has appeared on recordings with Chris Jones, Apocalyptic Cowboys, Garrett Grass, Paul Adkins' Borderline Band, The Rarely Herd, Jim Hurst, Bull Harman, and New Strings. Ned was also the banjo player for the soundtrack of the movie Chrystal starring Billy Bob Thornton. Bluegrass Unlimited magazine has declared, "Ned's banjo captures that killer tone and technique banjo players die for." Now residing in Nashville, he is the banjoist for Chris Jones and the Night Drivers, teaches private lessons at The East Nashville School of Music, and is a radio personality on Sirius Satellite Radio's Bluegrass channel. His uncomplicated teaching style and fresh, wacky sense of humor has made him a favorite at music camps and workshops, such as NashCamp, Camp Bluegrass, The Maryland Banjo Academy, Midwest Banjo Camp, American Banjo Camp and , The British Columbia Bluegrass Camp.

At a recent concert at the Irish Pub in Laurel, MD, we had surly pizza and runny leprechauns. Please not to book us there again. I left my insides as expression of disaffection. Please book HurlFest next time.
