Arnold Shultz (1886–1931) was an African American musician from western Kentucky who had a profound influence on Bill Monroe and the development of bluegrass.
Pisgah Banjo Company is proud to sponsor an annual raffle in support of the Arnold Shultz Fund, which provides opportunities for people of color pursuing careers and passions in Bluegrass, Traditional, and Old-Time music. As a banjo manufacturer deeply rooted in these traditions, we recognize the profound contributions of Arnold Shultz and other musicians of color whose legacies have too often gone unacknowledged. Supporting this fund is part of our ongoing commitment to equity, inclusion, and the dismantling of systemic barriers within the musical community.
