about

Andrew Forrest "Andy" Boarman was born in 1910 in Berkeley County in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. Best known for his unusual and intricate finger-style banjo playing, Boarman also was a fine autoharp player, instrument builder, and instrument repairman. His barbershop in Hedgesville doubled as a music store and instrument repair workshop until the shop closed in 1974. Until his death in 1999, he remained active with his music and was a frequent participant at fairs and festivals across the state.
