The pandemic took banjo player Chris Pandolfi off the road -- no touring with his bluegrass band The Infamous Stringdusters. So, holed up in his Denver home studio, Pandolfi managed to pluck a more ambient sound from his rootsy instrument. Pandolfi calls this solo project "Trad Plus Presents Trance Banjo," which plays on a term coined by the late mountain music pioneer, Doc Watson.
