Music Makers and Soul Shakers with Steve DawsonEp. 168 - Tony TrischkaBanjo legend Tony Trischka joins me on the show this week. I first saw Tony playing with his band Psychograss back in the 90’s at a bluegrass festival in Vancouver, and have been following Tony’s music ever since. Tony is from Syracuse, and has spent most of his career in the New York area. His early bands included The Down City Ramblers, Country Cooking and Breakfast Special. He also started making really cool solo records in the early 70’s that are pretty out-there in the context of what was going on in those days in bluegrass. Those albums defini...2024-09-181h 10

But have you delved into joropo, or llanera music, from the western portion of the country?When you think of string band music like bluegrass, does anything far outside the region of the southern United States jump out as having a parallel makeup, or a kinship that might lend itself to fusing with that tradition?

Southern Songs and StoriesFrom Beethoven to Emily Dickinson and Earl Scruggs: The Musical Archaeology of Tony TrischkaIt is natural that a second generation bluegrass banjo player would have soaked up as much of Earl Scruggs’ style on the five string as possible when starting out; it is just as natural that they would push outside of those boundaries of the territory staked out by their pioneering forebears. In Tony Trischka’s case, part of this instinct to turn bluegrass on its head early on in his career involved doing things like adding saxophone to an instrumental version of “Roll In My Sweet Baby’s Arms”, which began with a cacophonous drum solo. Now, we find the habitu...2024-04-2327 minBluegrass Jam Along InterviewsBluegrass Briefing - March 18th 2024 (inc.

TestedThe birth of bluegrassAmong aficionados and fans of bluegrass, it's generally accepted that this quintessentially American genre of music was born in Nashville, Tennessee and was introduced by Earl Scruggs.

And just before Monroe went to the Grand Ole Opry, in 1939, he was performing regularly for a live 15-minute show called Mountain Music Time on WWNC, in Asheville, North Carolina.2022-04-1917 minAcoustic Tuesday | Guitar Routine ShowLearning Guitar from Banjo Legend Earl Scruggs ★ Acoustic Tuesday 228
