Dr. Dennis Fisher
Multi-instrumentalist, Educator.
Dr. Dennis Fisher has been playing banjo for over 50 years. He was privileged to study bluegrass banjo under Warren Kennison, Jr. who helped the legendary Earl Scruggs develop his instruction manual Earl Scruggs and the Five String Banjo.
Having professionally taught banjo, Dr. Dennis also has performed and played with music groups around the world.
With his considerable expertise of the 5-string banjo, Dr. Dennis was asked to adapt banjo songs on the ukulele for a student at The Strum Shop in Roseville, California where he is an instructor. This was life changing as Bluegrass Ukulele Celebration was born!
Now, Dr. Dennis teaches one to one and online courses in his favorite ukulele music style! Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Rocky Top, Dueling Banjos and many more classic bluegrass songs sound like a “hammered dulcimer on steroids” when played on the uke. Dr. Dennis makes it easy! Come join the fun!
