About

Erik Simon

Born in West Virginia raised in Kentucky and South Carolina Erik has been spoon fed healthy helpings of bluegrass, old timey, gospel, and folk music all his life.

As the son of a back porch picker Erik grew up listening to his father and family playing and singing and also gained ground from an early age singing in church.

At age 15 he picked up a guitar and somewhere along the way he found a mandolin. To this day has hasn’t put either one down. You can find him with the string band Broken Pick.
