About Matokie Slaughter

"Matokie Worrell Slaughter (sometimes known as "Tokie" Slaughter) (December 21, 1919 – December 31, 1999) was an American clawhammer banjo player. Born on December 21, 1919, in Pulaski, VA to a large musical family, she performed regularly with her family on local radio in the 1940s. Slaughter is known for her unique, driving style of clawhammer banjo playing, with complex noting and double-noting and featuring both uppicking and downpicking.[2] She also occasionally played fiddle."
