Aaron started his musical journey at the age of 6 taking guitar lessons at a local church. At the age of 10, he began taking banjo lessons from John Nipper and quickly added banjo to his repertoire. He has been playing music with local bands over the last 16 years, focused primarily in the southeast region. End of Line currently features Aaron on banjo, among other instruments.
John began playing music at the age of 18 by picking with the old timers in his neighborhood. Their patience paid off when after a few years he began touring with a well known southern gospel band throughout the southeast. During this time he honed his skills on banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and guitar. Eventually his love for bluegrass won out and he has been playing bluegrass music with many different bands for the last thirty years. John currently plays upright bass with End of the Line as well as other bands in the Atlanta area.
Mark Garrison, a seasoned musician with an extensive background in rock, bluegrass, country, Americana, and pop, brings a wealth of experience to End of the Line. A singer/songwriter, Mark is also the founder of the award-winning local band, known for its captivating blend of bluegrass and rockabilly. His lifetime passion for music and songwriting shines through in every note he plays and every lyric he sings.
