Mountain Prodigy

Presley Barker’s life revolves around his guitars. He wakes up thinking about playing guitar. He plays late into the night until the guitar is physically taken away from him. 

Inspired by the bluegrass music of the North Carolina mountains, Barker started taking guitar lessons at seven years old. Three years later, Barker was competing in the adult division of guitar competitions. Now at 14, Barker travels the country to perform in bluegrass festivals.
