Born on a tobacco farm in Moore Springs, N.C., Lou Reid was surrounded by traditional music and took up the guitar at age 7. He held a youthful interest in rock 'n' roll as well as country. Making music had a profound impact on him, and he found the combination of traditional tunes with progressive sensibilities a natural coupling.
Reid was critical in bringing vocal harmonies to the forefront of contemporary bluegrass music as a founding member of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver. He continued to earn acclaim with the Ricky Skaggs band and joined the Seldom Scene as lead singer and guitarist and remains a full-time member as mandolinist. He also serves as lead guitarist for the award-winning group, Longview, which plays select dates throughout the year. His own band, Carolina, includes wife Christy, banjo player Trevor Watson, and guitarist Kevin Richardson.
