The legendary Kenny Ingram started playing banjo in 1964 at the age of 12.He learned how to play by watching Flatt & Scruggs TV shows. During his teen years, he played dances in and around Dixon Tennessee.His first professional job was with James Monroe & The Midnight Ramblers in July 1971. He joined Jimmy Martin and the Sunny Mountain Boys on May 13, 1972, and later stepped into the big shoes of Earl Scruggs, when he joined Lester Flatt on Oct 1, 1973. This gained him world acclaim from their many shows, and their appearances each weekday morning on the Martha White Show, broadcast on WSM radio in Nashville, TN.along with teenage Marty Stuart on mandolin. In June of 1978, Kenny worked again with the King of Bluegrass, Jimmy Martin. From 1981 to 1986 he worked with Curly Seckler, a band mate from the years with Lester Flatt. For the next 15 years Kenny took some time off from the Bluegrass spotlight what Kenny proclaims as hibernation. On Nov 1, 2001 the self taught banjo king returned to the stage with his trade-mark lightening speed and traditional banjo style; and now performs as a key member of the award winning group Rhonda Vincent & The Rage.Kenny Ingram returns as the fastest banjo in bluegrass! Influences: Flatt & Scruggs- Jimmy Martin-Sonny Osborne-J.D. Crowe-Bill Emerson Wife: Kaye three children- Kenneth-Mary & Laura     A note from Will Williams: I meet Kenny a few years ago at the IBMA trade show. Kenny was approached and ask if he would like to play a Williams banjo? He said not here in the trade show but if you would meet later tonight I would be glad to. The meeting took placed as planned and the most wonderful sound came from my Williams "Grangeville" model banjo I have ever heard. Kenny played it for a few tunes and said " This is my kind of banjo". The next day Kenny, Jim Burlile and I were at the Williams Custom Banjo booth and Kenny ask if I would mind if he played my banjo on the Grand Old Opry tonight. I doubt if you could see much of my booth from the big smile I had on my face. That night was one of the biggest Bluegrass nights of my life. From those few hours with Kenny the Williams "Kenny Ingram" model banjo came to life and is growing strong as one of the best new Bluegrass banjo being made today.Not only is Kenny a good business partner but a good friend.
