Michael Malek

A native of WI, Michael has been playing bluegrass for over a decade. In his early 20’s, he was inspired to pick up the banjo for its great bluegrass Appalachian melodies. He was initially drawn to the sound after listening to contemporary acoustic jam bands, which has evolved into appreciating the traditional sounds and harmonies of bluegrass. Over the last 5 years, Michael has played banjo in the Triangle based band, Counter Clockwise String Band, while participating in festivals across NC
