Skip Gorman’s music brings back to life the workaday world of the Western cowboy. It is not the music of the Hollywood cowboy, but rather the simple, yet beautifully poignant music that was performed around campfires by cowboys and westward settlers in the 19th century.
Skip Gorman is a versatile musician with over 25 years of experience performing throughout the United States, Canada and internationally. He plays the fiddle, guitar, claw hammer banjo, and mandolin – all with great fluidity and fancy finger work!
Skip is a feature performer both at cowboy gatherings and at bluegrass music camps as he is a master of both traditions. His academic background in American studies from Brown University, his practical classroom experience as a high school Spanish and history teacher, and his time Out West enable him to present the true flavour of the cowboy brought to life with a good dose of history. Skip’s performance credits include Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion, music for Ken Burn's documentary films "Baseball" and "Lewis and Clark," and an appearance on Good Morning America.
