Reed Stutz is a multi-instrumentalist and singer who makes his home in Nashville, Tennessee. He plays mandolin, guitar, banjo, and fiddle and performs with numerous groups including Alice Gerrard, the Nokosee Fields Trio and Bronwyn Keith-Hynes. 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 Molsky’s Mountain Drifters (Bruce Molsky, Allison de Groot), the Jason Carter Band, Steam Machine, David Peterson & 1946, 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.
