Computer vs. Banjo

If you’ve always pigeonholed folk and electronica as polar opposites, Computer vs. Banjo will make you rethink everything you thought about both.

Hatched in the musical crucible of Nashville, the genre-bending band fuses fingerpicked folk with experimental beats to create such a full, original sound, it’s hard to believe CVB is just a duo.

You’ll recognize their names because they’re both accomplished musicians: Johnny Mann was the lead guitarist of jazz/funk band Gran Torino, and Beau Stapleton played tenor guitar and mandolin for Blue Merle.

Because both are adept at crossing genres and applying their multiple influences and skills to their music, charting new terrain came easy to them. As CVB, Mann and Stapleton trade off on lead vocals and play and program everything from synths to the dobro, to of course, the computer and banjo, pioneering a sound that is truly their own.
