Boy Named Banjo

William Reames and Willard Logan both picked up the guitar at an early age; Barton Davies quickly became a talented banjo player; Sam McCullough and Ford Garrard soon joined in too. By the age of 16, these performers formed their very own band. Boy Named Banjo now is a country-folk sensation across the American South, and their roots can all be drawn back to Endada. The MBA lawn featured one of the first performances from this famous band. Even though they’ve been occupied by countless tours and packed audiences, the original members of Boy Named Banjo wanted to stop by for Endada’s 10th anniversary.
