Banjo Joe is the hummingbird of banjo pickers.
Pickens, West Virginia – The undisputed fastest banjo player in the world is coming to Fargo, North Dakota!
Ol’ Joe Perkins has long been the fastest banjo player in the world.
Banjo Joe first became the world’s fastest banjo player when he was just 19 years old, and has held the title every year for the last seventy years.
He was once clocked picking his banjo at 138 mph.
Clarence “Picker” Chitlins once described Banjo Joe as “the hummingbird of banjo pickers!”
If you are a banjo player looking for some life-changing inspiration, or just want to be totally amazed, Ol’ Joe Perkins will be doing some free workshops at the new Death Valley Retirement Home in Fargo.

Contributing writer since January, 2013. I've been described by myself as a piano-playing omnivore who hates typos but loves chocolate milk in his coffee. As a Life Coach, some lessons I like to pass onto others are: 1. don't stare at strangers, especially in jail, 2. don't leave fun to find fun, 3. never pet a burning dog, 4. don't eat more than you can lift, and 5. when in doubt, jot it down.
