To this point in his musical career, the festivals are a favorite. He has also enjoyed various music camps such as Mt. Shasta. IBMA in Nashville is a favorite event too. These events have been musical turning points for me personally and for the Circus as well. I always enjoy meeting other musicians and learning from them." It is no secret that Rick Morton is the genius behind the RAC. "Our band leader, Rick Morton, has had a huge impact on my life. Because of him, I have had numerous opportunities to meet and be mentored by some of the greatest players." "I am looking forward to my future with the Circus. It is always lots of fun to travel to shows and festivals and I hope to continue this journey for a long time." |



Eric has a list of fiddling achievements. 



Carson started playing banjo at the age of thirteen...
As serious & quiet as Carson can sometimes appear from stage, nothing could be further from the truth. When the question is asked, "who did it?", the reply generally has his name attached. However, he is serious about the banjo and first become interested in ir after watching an episode of "The Beverly Hillbillies” on TV just a few short years ago. Since that time, it has been a whirlwind of change and musical driven experiences. He took up the banjo, started playing in the Circus, began homeschooling and has traveled to tons of shows and festivals. It is has been a ride he has greatly enjoyed and now can't imagine life any other way.
