Reed Stutz is a multi-instrumentalist and singer who makes his home in Nashville, Tennessee. He plays mandolin, guitar, banjo, and fiddle performs with numerous groups including the Alice Gerrard Band and the Nokosee Fields Trio. He draws heavily on early recorded bluegrass and old time southern fiddle music, taking a traditional approach while bringing a personal style.

 

Sideman work fills much of Reed’s time. Some acts he has played with in recent years include the Jason Carter Band, Molsky’s Mountain Drifters (Bruce Molsky, Allison de Groot), Steam Machine, David Peterson & 1946, the Bronwyn Keith-Hynes Band, Tatiana Hargreaves, Andrew Marlin, and Joseph Decosimo. He also regularly teaches private lessons, and is often found playing or teaching at festivals, camps, and fiddler’s conventions around the country.
