    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.

    This week, I’ve dug deeper into my shelves to find some of the artists whose music I enjoy, but don’t seem to get ‘picked’ so often. So the line-up for this show includes Vince Gill, Richard Bennett, the Davidson Brothers from Australia, Patty Loveless, Doc Watson, the Spinney Brothers from Nova Scotia, Bill Evans, JD Crowe, Irene Kelley and a host of great musicians accompanying them.

    This week I’m playing ‘favourites’ – of mine! Of course, I could never fit all my favourite performers on just one show, but this is a start. The Dreadful Snakes, Joe Mullins, Sawmill Road (Mark Miracle), Laurie Lewis, the Stanley Brothers, Claire Lynch, Mike Compton, High Fidelity, Ricky Skaggs, plus a host of others. Enjoy them with me.

    Back Porch Bluegrass - 13-12-2022 Dec 13, 2022
    Show notes

    On this show I get to talk with the first bass player for the HCBB, one Sandy McMillin, visiting NZ from his home in Vancouver, BC, Canada with his wife Andrea. We reminisce about our early days, and even play some of our earliest music! There’s also some songs from John Reischman & the Jaybirds, the Kody Norris Show, Aaron Foster & Aynsley Porchak, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.

    Still digging deep into my shelves, and finding all sorts of treasures. Bill Emerson & Wayne Taylor, Rhonda Vincent, Ned Luberecki & Becky Buller, Caroline Jones & The Trenwiths, Bill Monroe, Charlie Monroe. Flatt & Scruggs – some real heroes of the music in this show. I even fitted in some HCBB music.

    Back Porch Bluegrass - 29-11-2022 Nov 29, 2022
    Show notes

    There’s a great deal of variety in bluegrass music, as this episode will demonstrate. From the ‘straight ahead’ classic sound of Dan Tyminski, Hot Rize to the Flatt & Scruggs sound of The Earls Of Leicester; from the banjo-and-ballad music from Bill Keith to the emotive vocals of Laurie Lewis; the ‘family’ sound of the Bluegrass Martins to the plaintive sound of Emmy Lou Harris, there’s lots to enjoy in this show.

    Back Porch Bluegrass - 22-11-2022 Nov 22, 2022
    Show notes

    This show features music from Corrina Rose Logston, the Nashville Bluegrass Band, bluegrass legend Tony Ellis, the Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band, mandolinist extraordinaire Mike Compton; there’s a Christmas song (already!) from Caroline Jones and the Trenwiths, a gospel song from Ron Block, and some great bluegrass from Special Consensus and Chris Stuart. A VERY varied selection from my deep shelves.

    Back Porch Bluegrass - 15-11-2022 Nov 15, 2022
    Show notes

    This show is mostly about the fiddle. Some great tunes, and a couple of songs about players. Australia’s Slim Dusty kicks off with some sweet fiddle playing from Colleen Trenwith, and others featured are the great Kenny Baker. Glen Duncan with Longview, Bill Monroe, Rhonda Vincent, Michael Cleveland, Flatt & Scruggs with Paul Warren, upcoming star Aynsley Porchak with Carolina Blue from ETSU, the HCBB, and that show stopper, ‘Orange Blossom Special’ from Chubby Anthony and the Stanley Brothers.

    Some classic bluegrass here, from the first generation of bluegrassers including Bill Monroe, Mac Wiseman, Jim & Jesse and my old favourites, the Stanley Brothers, with some tributes to these pioneers from more recent performers.
