"I fell in love with the Continental Voyager banjo case the first time I held one in my hands! I love how light it is and it’s still extremely protective! I’m not afraid to travel with my banjo in this case rather than a traditional hard shell case! It’s awesome!"

Anthony is an impressive young banjo player from a little town in central Mississippi called Zama. His biggest music influences include Jens Krüger, Larry Wallace, Bill Emerson, Don Reno, Tony Rice, and Jesse McReynolds.
