P.B. Ploy

{Singer/songwriter}/{ ock} violinist P.b. Ploy is a genre alchemist. By applying modern electric fiddle to everything from {swing} and {lues} to {indie pop} and {jazz}, Ploy utilizes his long history of performing to create an eccentric mix of old and new. He began studying {classical} violin at age six, a passion that led him to numerous orchestras in the Midwest. After relocating to western New York, he joined a {folk-rock} band called the Wayfarers, followed by a stint in the {luegrass}/{Celtic}/{swing} band the Red Branch Boys. In 2001 Ploy decided to pursue a solo career, resulting in the release of his debut, Clues From The Underground, in 2003. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
