Jason and Pharis Romero are building fine open-back banjos as the J. Romero Banjo Co. When they're not building, they're learning, playing or teaching dreamy old-time country and original music. They're also working late at night on graphic designs and writing music. Learn more, or get in touch with us; we'd love to hear from you.

In other news though....
