Ricky Mier is a banjoist who hails from the San Francisco bay area.
While attending Berklee College of Music on scholarship he won the
Lowell Banjo and Fiddle Contest’s esteemed ‘Other Styles’ category.
Ricky is versed in hard driving bluegrass music, Flecktones style
fusion, open funk jams, classical, and now is dipping into Irish
traditional music.
He uses a 2008 Gold Star GF-100 banjo with Keith
D-Tuners and a nickel plated presto tailpiece. He prefers to use the
stainless steel National NP2-SS fingerpicks for his picking because it
decreases the amount of tarnish that develops on the picks.

This Fall, Lord Geoffrey is presenting a "rising talent" (with the
emphasis on Celtic / string band / old time music / contemporary
variants) mid-week music series, featuring student artists from the
Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory.
Outpost 186 in Inman Square, Cambridge is the venue where Rushad
Eggleston, John Mailander and Molly Tuttle launched the series in the
Spring. It seats about 35, thus is small enough so no sound
reinforcement is needed but big enough to accommodate discriminating
patrons.
