Patuxent Music is an independent record label in Rockville, Maryland.[2]

History[]

Bluegrass musician Tom Mindte started recording music by other artists in 1984 with a reel to reel recorder in his father's air conditioning shop. In 1990 Tom opened his own studio, and started the Patuxent label in 1996.[3]

Notable projects[]

Patuxent Music's first project was recording fiddler Joe Meadows in 1995. When the original record label couldn't release the recording, Patuxent released it as their first album in 1996.[4]

The Patuxent Banjo Project compiled music from 40 past and current banjo players from the Baltimore-Washington corridor. It was produced by musicians Mark Delaney and Randy Barrett. The backing band included David McLaughlin (mandolin), Danny Knicely (guitar), Tad Marks (fiddle), and Mark Schatz (bass).[5] Among the banjo players recorded were Bill Emerson, Eddie Adcock, Tom Adams, and Roni Stoneman.[6][7]
