Grammy winning fiddler Richard Greene has joined forces with brilliant bluegrass duo The Brothers Barton and master bassist Jeff Pekarek. From classic bluegrass and old-time music played the way Bill Monroe taught Richard to exciting original compositions, this new ensemble consistently achieves packed houses with standing ovations and encores the norm. Richard is “one of America’s most innovative and influential fiddlers” (Bluegrass Unlimited), who can “play anything on that instrument, and with so ecstatic a tone” (Nat Hentoff). In the Brothers Barton, Richard has met his youthful match. He calls Paul and Loren “young geniuses, brilliant composers and virtuoso players.” Together the four have superb chemistry and charisma, playing with equal reverence for tradition and innovation.

In 1960, Richard Greene starred in a theatrically-released Robin Hood film, The Sword of Sherwood Forest. Greene was the only regular actor from the TV series to appear in this full-colour version.

The plot revolved around an attempt to assassinate Archbishop of Canterbury and king's Chancellor Hubert Walter.
