Booie has been playing and performing on mandolin for more than 30 years, and over that time he has immersed himself in many styles of music, including Bluegrass, Swing, and Choro. His mandolin studies have taken him all over the world, from playing with a mandolin orchestra in Italy to late night Choro jams in Rio De Janeiro. He has studied intensively with many of today’s mandolin luminaries, including Mike Marshall, Don Stiernberg, and David Grisman. He can be found performing with his groups including Foxglove and Corca Baiscinn.
