the Janna Banjo Story
Janna Kim Janna Banjo Fund
Kim is a stunningly talented 25-year-old professional singer who plays bluegrass banjo. Teaching herself how to play the banjo over the Internet - with a makeshift instrument - Kim’s goal is to bring American banjo music to her country and to tour internationally.
ECA has partnered with world-class banjo maker, Tom Nechville, to assist this brilliant young musician in achieving her creative goals. Nechville, whose handmade banjos are highly revered, has provided a matching opportunity to obtain one of his high-end instruments in support of this Global Artreach project.
