Top Performers World-wide Turn to Deering Banjos

You can never tell who you will find playing a banjo these days!! And the interest in the banjo leaps country borders like a graceful deer---or like a beautiful Deering!! Deering’s American made, quality banjos are being played from Nashville to Italy, from California to Switzerland, and anywhere in between with zest, pop, and precision by artists from all styles of music. On the country music scene, Deering’s most recent endorsers are Jamie O’Neil and Troy Gentry with the Deluxe 6-string and the Bruce Springsteen Band and the Shania Twain Band with Deering’s Boston 6-string, also a favorite with many Nashville sessions players.

The banjo is roaring into main stream music —and many are using the Deering Banjo Company’s high quality reputation to lead them to an instrument that will hold it’s own amid the roar of an amplified stage performance or illuminate the subtlest of acoustic reveries.
We all remember the gently haunting notes of Kermit the Frog’s “Rainbow Connection,” but did you know that his pal Elmo also “plays” a banjo? Yes, Steve Bargonetti is the talented Deering banjo player behind these affectionate Muppet characters! And what do they share in common with Weird Al Yankovich? Who would have thought that the banjo could connect such diverse characters!! Jim West, a member of Weird Al’s band, plays a Deering Boston 6-string banjo.
Joe Satriani embellishes his incomparable jazz interpretations with his Deering Deluxe 6 string and 12 string banjos. Bela Fleck, nominated for Grammy’s in categories from classical to gospel to children as well as jazz, uses a Deering Crossfire banjo to bring audiences to their feet. The crossfire knows no limits ---being used by Diamond Rio to entertain the country music crowd. You say you like rock and roll? Then listen to Aerosmith --- they have a Deering Maple Blossom 6-string. Diversity is the name of the game and Deering banjos appeal to the most diverse crowd of music lovers found on the planet.
