Banjoiste
Country US né Charles Wilburn Trent, le 17 Février 1938 à Spartanburg (Caroline
du Sud).
Buck "Mr.
Banjo" Trent is not only one of the finest players in country music, he is also
the inventor of the electric banjo. Born Charles Wilburn Trent in Spartanburg,
South Carolina, he began playing steel guitar at age seven, and debuted
professionally on an Ashville, North Carolina television station at age 17. He
joined the Bill Carlisle Show near the
end of the 1950s and soon afterward made his first appearance on the Grand
Ole Opry. In 1962, he joined Porter
Wagoner's Wagon Masters and designed the electric banjo, an instrument
shaped something like a steel guitar which featured a mobile bridge used to
change the pitch. Trent remained with
Wagoner
through 1973 and then spent the next seven years as the opening act for
Roy Clark; he also appeared regularly as a
featured musician on the long-running TV show Hee Haw. He began recording
in 1962, initially under the name Charles Trent; during the '70s, he recorded
several albums, including Bionic Banjo (1976). He began recording on his
own Buck Trent label in the 1980s and two years later recorded an eponymous
album on MCA/Dot. During the 1990s, he was a regular performer in Branson,
Missouri.
