Biographies

Greg Booth

Greg Booth (dobro, banjo, vocals), lives in Anchorage, where, for many years, he’s played pedal steel guitar in country groups—as well as banjo (which he first learned from Bill Emerson) and, more recently, dobro in legendary Alaskan bluegrass bands like Fault Line and Rank Strangers. Winner of the RockyGrass dobro competition in 2006 (after playing that instrument for only one year), regular participant in ResoSummit and Resomania, and star of YouTube (aksliderdobro), “Greg’s innovative, expressive dobro playing is even more remarkable” says guitarist Joe Karson, “when you consider that he employs no ‘licks.’”
