His mischievous personality keeps anyone who knows him, on their toes; a trait he clearly inherited from his mother, Sherry Berry. He's never known a stranger; striking up a conversation with most anyone; anywhere in the world! Hunter loves people, and they love him back. Though the fiddle is his main stay; he can play anything. His mandolin style is unique; and he has that special touch on any instrument he plays; from the guitar to the autoharp. Hunter can sing any part, just as he plays any instrument. An experienced teacher, Hunter is a staff instructor at East Tennessee University in their Appalachian Studies of Bluegrass and Old Time Music.
