Phoebe Sanders can be called an experimental banjoist as she is constantly pushing the limits of how this classic American instrument can and should be played. In addition to traditional playing of traditional songs such as "Big Rock Candy Mountain," she's played her banjos underwater and built a functional banjo out of trash.
Sanders's performances include playing her favorite instrument while simultaneously controlling marionettes. In the above video, she makes her raccoon dance by pumping pedals that pull the strings of the puppet.
