ÛÏA certified mandolin iconÛ (Mandolin Magazine), ÛÏA new bluegrass instrumental heroÛ (New York Times), Grammy Award winning instrumentalist Mike Compton, perhaps best known as the featured mandolin player on ÛÏOh, Brother Where Art ThouÛ, is one of the modern masters of bluegrass mandolin (Sam Bush says ÛÏnobody plays Monroe better than ComptonÛ) and one of the most recognizable and respected mandolin voices in the world today. A founding member of the Nashville Bluegrass Band, a sideman with John Hartford Stringband, a studio-recording artist on over 110 albums, a Grammy & IBMA award winning musician, Compton is as passionate and advocate for the mandolin as youÛªre ever likely to find.
