Jayme Stone

Two-time Juno-winning banjoist Jayme Stone makes music inspired by sounds from around the world bridging folk, jazz and chamber music. His award-winning albums both defy and honor the banjo’s long role in the world’s music, turning historical connections into compelling music. The repertoire includes a Bach fugue, a Moorish sword-fighting dance, Malian melodies, an Appalachian barnburner and Stone’s own tiny symphonies.
