St. Louis
Banjo CluB
The ST. LOUIS BANJO CLUB was formed in 1969 and has continuously brought the sounds of the four-string banjo to audiences for more than 50 years.
The Club currently has 45 members encompassing ages from 25 to a young 90+. As many as twenty players show up on the second or fourth Thursday of each month to play music, mostly from the early 1900s, also known fondly as the songs from “Tin Pan Alley”. The Club members strive to keep this music alive and well for many years to come.
We really appreciate the support of our audience and encourage you to sing-a-long to the songs. The lyrics to those songs are projected on the wall, not unlike the old “Shakey Pizza” days.
Everyone who plays a four-string banjo is welcome to become a member. If you are new to the banjo, you will find a group of people who will help you learn and improve your banjo skills.
On the 4th Thursday we are at the Elk’s Club, 6330 Heege Road, 63123. Remember that we only play once each month. See the Schedule at the Calendar Tab above.
We play songs with words you understand and will never be able to forget!

The All Frets Convention was held in St. Louis July 2012. Here is a video of our presentation as we opened the concert festivities. Twenty-five members filled the stage. We were led by our Music Director, Joe Feager.
The January 22nd performance also included 6 of our new members who are in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Rejuvenation is in the air! We are excited to have the next generation playing the four-string banjo.
