Chance Wagner plays the banjo in front of Cactus Flower on Kirkwood Avenue. Originally from Bedford, Wagner recieved his bachelor's degree in U.S. history from IU and is returning in the fall for a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology. "I want be as involved in academia as possible. If you've ever heard of all the Lomax's and the people during the folk revival during the sixties and seventies, they were doing a lot of field recordings of older people that are really isolated in the mountains that are playing this traditional music still. So I would like to do that. Go visit people and talk to older people that learned this American music the traditional way, like from their dads and grandpas adn different people from around where they're from."
