Rex McGee traveled throughout the U.S. and Canada with flatpicking guitar legend Larry Keel and renowned newgrass vocalist John Cowan, and produced collaborations with Vassar Clements, Tony Rice, Pat Flynn, and many other acoustic musical greats.
McGee’s roots in traditional music run deep. Born in Winston-Salem, N.C. and raised on the family farm near Sauratown Mountain, he had early formal training on the piano and fiddle. His father accompanied him on piano for weekly performances with the Stokes County Ramblers at the Pollirosa Opry. His grandfather was a renowned fiddler of the generation of Round Peak old-time icon Tommy Jarrell.
