Chris Panfolfi is the banjo player in The Infamous Stringdusters, but his latest solo project is a little different than what you'd come to expect from this newgrass stalwart. It fuses Chris' passion and playing of the banjo with his penchant for production. In all, it's a fascinating listen one that I'd encourage you to check out. We caught up with Chris to talk about the record, and a whole lot more. Our conversation started at the beginning though, when I asked Chris about what inspired him to play the banjo and who some of his influences are.
