Johnny Staats and Robert Shafer

***Please note: All shows at Natalie’s have socially distanced table seating, and masks are required except while eating and drinking at tables. Mandolin player Johnny Staats and guitar flatpicker Robert Shafer are two of West Virginia's most decorated pickers. They've appeared separately on the Grand Ole Opry, and each have won multiple awards for their work on their respective instruments. The duo has recorded numerous CDs together, and though they can be classified as bluegrass players, Staats and Shafer draw from influences far beyond the boundaries of bluegrass.
