About & History
Who we are, and a short history of the old-time banjo.
Old-Time Banjo Society
A nonprofit dedicated to preserving and teaching traditional old-time, clawhammer, and frailing banjo.
Welcome to the Old-Time Banjo Society — a fictional nonprofit created to demonstrate a lightweight, low-maintenance website. We keep the old-time banjo tradition alive through free community workshops, an archive of field recordings, and scholarships for the next generation of players.
Whether you’ve never held a banjo or you’ve been frailing since before the records stopped spinning, there’s a place for you here.
