Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
Lester Raymond Flatt (June 19, 1914 – May 11, 1979) was a bluegrass musician and guitarist and mandolinist, best known for his membership in the Bluegrass duo The Foggy Mountain Boys, also known as "Flatt and Scruggs," with banjo picker Earl Scruggs. Flatt's career spanned nearly four decades; besides his work with Scruggs, he released multiple solo and collaboration works. Flatt also served as a member of Bill Monroe's band during the 1940s. Flatt and Scruggs are also known in Pop Culture for their appearance on the television show “The Beverly Hillbillies” and creating the theme song “The Ballad of Jed Clampett”. Flatt is also remembered for his library of compositions. The Flatt songbook looms titanic for any student of American acoustic music. He continued to record and perform until his death in 1979 of heart failure, after a prolonged period of ill health.
