Jason Romero

"Jason's playing is suberb... either 3-finger... or clawhammer..."
-Banjo Newsletter

"Jason Romero is making banjos that are at the absolute peak of the art form in terms of sound, design, feel, woodwork, inlay, etc. He unites tradition with innovation in an effortless way, creating masterful works of art with each instrument. He is at the forefront of his field, making some of the most exciting and rewarding banjos in America today. If you're looking for "that sound," this is it."
-Dirk Powell

Jason Romero is well known for building among the finest old time and bluegrass banjos available. He built for several years for world-renowned Wildwood Banjos, and you may have heard his instruments being played on recordings by Dirk Powell, The Foghorn Stringband, Ricky Skaggs, and Ivan Rosenberg. Jason is also an amazing clawhammer (and bluegrass) banjo player, performing regularly with fixtures of the old time and bluegrass music scene in Northern California for many years. Since his relocation to Canada a year ago, he now plays with Erynn Marshall and Pharis Romero in the old time band The Haints.
