Banjo Tales

Directed by Yasha Aginsky

With Mike Seeger, Yasha Aginsky, Alexia Seeger, Brien Fain and Peter Gott

In 2009, filmmaker Yasha Aginsky accompanied the great old-time musician Mike Seeger and his wife Alexia on recording trips through the Southeastern United States, documented by Yasha and his assistant, Slava Basovich. A tireless collector, performer and advocate of old-time music and musicians, Mike was on a mission to record a survey of contemporary traditional-style banjo playing.
