Tall Cotton is currently looking for a new flat-picker. If you can play bluegrass guitar and are in the OKC area please message us.
Christopher P. Robinson
A.K.A. Chris P., A.K.A. Blind Boy Chris, picks the five-string banjo
for Tall Cotton. The native Okie was raised on Red-Dirt music but grew tired of being
a passive listener so a few years ago he bought a banjo and immersed himself in all things
bluegrass and is now doing his best as an active participant in the musical world.
Influenced by Sonny Osborne, Earl Scruggs, John Hartford, Tony, Trischka, Bill Monroe The Del McCoury
Band and Woody Guthrie. Chris, like most bluegrass fans, is a walking encyclopedia of
useless bluegrass trivia. |
Joshua Philip Pitt
A.K.A. Joshie Thunders, thumps on the bull fiddle and sings harmony vocals for the group.
He was born February 3rd, 1975 in a house on 26th and Blackwelder in Oklahoma City.
Years ago the entire block was demolished to make room for a parking lot. After that
day he vowed to roam the Earth until the land of his birth was free again. In addition
to picking the doghouse and singing, he plays mouth harp, slide whistle, and nose flute.
Some of his influences include Mike Watt, Sebastian Stienburg, Charles Mingus, and
Bootsie Collins. |
Sheridan Arthur Marquardt III
A native Oklahoman who swore many years ago to never plant his flag on any other soil.
Though traveling to the far reaches of the Earth in search of music he will always return
to his center, his home. After dreaming of playing the mandolin for years he finally decided
to put aside his ego, pick one up and simply try. The intense high and euphoria he would soon
come to realize was just a beginning to a magical journey that he hoped would never end. He
plays a 2004 Ridge Model F and uses D'addario Medium Gauge strings. Some of
his influences are Nigel Tufnel, David Grisman, Drew Emmitt, Sam Bush, Jeff Austin,
The Grateful Dead, Phish, and the entire 1980's. |
