Guitarist, singer and co-founder of The Dappled Grays, Casey Cook got his start in bluegrass as a child in his family’s band, ‘Special Cookin'.’ Cook, along with his brother, was inducted into the North Florida Bluegrass Hall of Fame as the youngest professionally performing duo in Bluegrass. Cook’s skills developed over the years and others began to take notice of his aggressive playing style and tasteful execution. This led to a feature in Flatpicking Guitar Magazine which among other things showcased an original tune of Cook’s written along with bandmate Michael Smith. Casey currently teaches private bluegrass guitar lessons and co-directs the Bluegrass Ensemble.
