The youth banjo band on stage at the Highway 61 Roadhouse on November 17, 2011. They are wearing their new performance attire. These kids just keep getting better and they understand what it takes to perform for the public. Roadhouse owner Bill Kunz has made his stage available for our kids to perform before family and the public. They are looking forward to strummin’ their banjos next year. Watch for the dates!

Sue Rensing designed our logo that was just perfect for us.

Members of the St. Louis Banjo Club as well as a huge number of four-string players across the U. S., literally from Maine to California, have contributed banjos, music, stands, practice tapes, books and cash. All of these gifts demonstrate the belief that the future of the four-string banjo depends on getting our youth interested in the banjo.

All eleven members of the STL BandJos performed on November 17th at the Highway 61 Roadhouse in Webster Groves To see other places where they have performed, CLICK HERE
