Welcome to the music of John Boulware. I play the fiddle, viola, mandolin, guitar (fingerstyle and flatpicking), bass, and tenor guitar. I sing and play a variety of acoustic music styles including bluegrass, old-time, gospel, celtic, swing, country, and classical. I play for weddings, parties, and festivals. I have also filled in with bands and done session work. I teach guitar, fiddle, and mandolin lessons at Mountain Music in Red Bank, Tn.
