#172 - Joe Larson
www.patreon.com/banjopodcast Today's episode features Joe Larson, of the band TopHouse! TopHouse one of the hardest working bands out there today: they tour coast-to-coast, write and record original music, and make entertaining internet content for their fans. TopHouse incorporates banjo, acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and more, they are more in the pop-folk realm rather than bluegrass- known for their catchy hooks, quirky sense of humor, and diverse musical influences. Joe Larson is at the center of it all, being a primary singer and songwriters, and of course, he's the band's banjo player in charge of adding creative parts to the band's recordings and performances.
