Here's is a Bio on Wallace:
Wallace moved to the North Cariboo from Houston, British Columbia and lives on the Quesnel Hydraulic Road. He grew up on bluegrass, started playing guitar but never got anywhere with it, traded his guitar for a bass guitar to the same avail.
He bought a uke while on a family vacation on Maui and was determined to learn to play it. He is mostly self taught through instructional videos and various books. He played with Betsy Van Halderan's group for a year. While playing with Betsy, they played a song written by Jenny Lester from Smithers whom he'd known since they were kids & it reminded him how much he really like bluegrass music.
Last summer, Wallace attended Nimblefingers in Sorrento. Nimblefingers is a bluegrass and oldtime music weeklong workshop and festival that brings in some of the best bluegrass musicians from all over North America to teach and perform. There was 5-6 hours of instruction every day, instructor performances every night and jamming everywhere until 2 or 3 in the morning.
