A veteran of the Boston music scene, Gretchen plays 3-finger style banjo and relishes everything from classic bluegrass to Newgrass, fiddle tunes, Western Swing, Bossa Nova, and jazz of the Great American Songbook. You can hear her perform with several New England-area bands, including the Bagboys, the Hazel Project, the Mudsills, and Local Freight. A former middle and elementary school teacher, Gretchen’s teaching style is hands-on and rooted in developing and practicing actionable skills.
