North Carolina-based mandolinist Liam Purcell joins us for Mandolin Mondays with an original tune played on his Sprite Two-Point Sorenson mandolin
Fifteen-year-old Liam Purcell is a multi-instrumentalist from Deep Gap, North Carolina, who you will most often see on stage with his fellow bandmates in their band, Cane Mill Road. Liam plays mandolin and fiddle, sings, and writes many of the songs for the group. He is also a certified Wernick Method instructor and enjoys teaching folks how to make music together. He runs a home studio for himself and others, and is currently working on a solo project there.
Liam also plays with the young band, Cane Mill Road and is already making waves in the bluegrass scene. You can check out their most recent release here: https://www.canemillroad.com/store
Here's Liam with word about the music in this video: "The tune is called Lindale, it's kinda fiddle tuney and I was listening to a lot of John Reischman and Chris Thile around the time I wrote it! Cane Mill Road recently finished up with our second album which will come out soon! I've used our time off since the album to work on a solo project (which this tune is on!) and folks can look for that later in the year"
Liam is sponsored by Sorensen Mandolins, GHS Strings, Shubb Capos, Deering Banjos, and Bob Kogut Violins.
