P.B. Ploy

Singer/songwriter/rock violinist P.b. Ploy is a genre alchemist. By applying modern electric fiddle to everything from swing and blues 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 bluegrass/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, All Music Guide
