Gary Hultman

Gary Hultman is a bluegrass resophonic guitar player who started his professional music career as part of The Boxcars. He grew up on the Canadian border in the small town of Birchdale, Minnesota. He was introduced to bluegrass when his family formed a band that he played with from the age of 10 until he left home to attend East Tennessee State University. Through the Bluegrass, Old Time, and Country Music Studies program, Hultman had the opportunity to share the stage with many of his musical heroes such as Adam Steffey, Tim Stafford, Doyle Lawson, and Ricky Skaggs, as well as travel overseas to Japan with ETSU’s Bluegrass Pride Band for a short tour during the summer of 2014. Rob Ickes’ ResoSummit in Nashville has been especially influential to Hultman through the years via the encouragement of staff members like Michael Witcher, Sally VanMeter, and Rob Ickes. Hultman has also had the privilege of returning to ResoSummit as a staff member.
