PodcastAbout Chris Eldridge
Guitar player, Chris Eldridge grew up in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Chris’ mother and father (Ben Eldridge from the Seldom Scene) are both banjo players and he attended Oberlin College. Up until September 2007, Chris played guitar with the Infamous Stringdusters. Currently he is a member of a new group, the Punch Brothers, featuring Chris Thile on mandolin, Gabe Witcher on violin, Greg Garrison on bass, and Noam Pikelny on banjo. Chris says,
“My favorite color is (usually) yellow, although I tend not to like my yellows to be too bold. But cornmeal yellow is a little too bland . . . .Under careful tutelage, I’ve been slowly, but surely, learning to dance. I still love getting dressed up for Halloween. I drive a Dodge Stratus. My guitar’s name is “Uncle Johnny.” I’m lucky to get to play music with absurdly good musicians. ”
