    Back Porch Bluegrass

    Host Paul Trenwith is a founder member of the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, playing banjo and occasionally singing harmony parts. From the mid-70’s to the mid-90’s, Paul and his fiddle-playing wife Colleen played as mostly gospel music, bluegrass-style, with a group of friends, and often featuring songs that Paul had written. He has become something of a musical ‘jack-of-all-trades’, playing banjo, dobro, pedal steel and rhythm guitar. He also plays double bass in the Hamilton-based Irish band.
    Paul has always been an enthusiastic advocate for and promoter of bluegrass music, and the show includes tracks from the classic bands, the traditional stylists and contemporary groups as well as some ‘roots’ bluegrass and new-grass. NZ and Australian bluegrass gets an airing, and every show includes some of his personal favourites.

    I have my son Sam Trenwith in the studio with me today, talking a little about his music teaching world, as well as our upcoming concert in Raglan at the end of this month. I’ve also featured a band, the Forest Hills Bluegrass Band from south-west Ohio, playing their own original music, as well as offerings from Laurie Lewis, Jim Lauderdale, Bobby Hicks, Bill Blackburn, the Osborne Brothers and even The Trenwiths.

    Back Porch Bluegrass - 24-09-2024 Sep 24, 2024
    Show notes

    I’m digging into my LP collection for some of today’s selections – Emerson & Waldron, great band from the late-1960’s/early 1970’s, and the Johnson Mountain Boys, classic bluegrass from the 1980’s. Of course we’ve got some fine offerings from Rhonda Vincent, the Brombies, Laurie Lewis & the Right Hands, and the Stanley Brothers. Throw in some picking from Brad Kolodner, the HCBB and Eddie Adcock & Don Reno, and you’ve got a memorable bluegrass concert.

    The Dreadful Snakes kick-off this episode of the Back Porch Bluegrass Show, and then we’ve got Balsam Range, Jeremy Stephens, Dr Pete Wernick (playing some pretty way-out sounding banjo licks), Longview and Ramona Church. I’ve got Dale Jett & Hello Stranger back this week, and the Trenwiths (previewing their appearance at the Raglan Country & Blues Festival), and a classic from Flatt & Scruggs ( because it IS a bluegrass show!)

    This week, we’ve got some Carter Family music from Dale Jett, some old-time country from Lulu Belle & Scotty, and some banjo picking from Junie Scruggs – Earl’s brother. There’s some fine bluegrass in here from Aaron Foster, Jeanette Williams, Roland White, and the Earls Of Leicester, a great band called ‘Sideline’, and some straight-ahead picking from Nothing Fancy. The ‘best of bluegrass’.

    Missy Werner, the Kody Norris Show, Seldom Scene, Jim & Jesse, and Nine Mile Creek (from Australia) are on the show this week. I’ve also included some great cuts from a Hot Rize live concert, and some fine picking from John Hickman.

    Back Porch Bluegrass - 27-08-2024 Aug 27, 2024
    Show notes

    I’ve just bought some ‘new’ CDs from a friend and fellow collector of bluegrass, and I’ve used them to compile this episode of Back Porch Bluegrass. I’ve also paid tribute to the great bluegrass fiddle player, Bobby Hicks, who passed away earlier this month.

    Back Porch Bluegrass - REPEAT - 20-08-2024 Aug 20, 2024
    Show notes

    Great banjo playing from Jim Mills, wonderful mandolin playing from David Grisman & Sam Bush, with a generous helping of fine picking & singing from the Stanley Brothers, Alison Krauss and lots of others. Pure delight!

    Show notes

    A little bit of Irish bluegrass from Niall Toner, some dynamic music from Newtown, songs from David Parmley, Del McCoury, Double Overtime, Earl Taylor, and Sierra Hull, and some fine instrumentals from the Boxcars, and Billy Hurt. Oh, and some old-timey clawhammer from Bob Siggins. A rare mix of bluegrass!

    Back Porch Bluegrass - 06-08-2024 Aug 06, 2024
    Show notes

    A very eclectic collection of the varying shades of bluegrass in this episode, almost as many colours as in an artist’s blue palette. Lou Reid, Norman Blake, Jeremy Stephens, Jean-Luc Leroux, the Lonesome River Band, Frank Solivan, the Whitstein Brothers, Bluestone, Claire Lynch, Jim Mills – something for everyone. Enjoy!
