Back Porch Bluegrass - 26-12-2023 Dec 26, 2023

Holiday listening, with some of my favourite musicians. Skaggs & Rice, Byron Berline (with 3 banjos!) John Reischman & the Jaybirds, Country Gentlemen, Jerry Douglas all get to present their songs and tunes, as do Flatt & Scruggs, Doyle Lawson, the HCBB, Frank Wakefield and Seldom Scene. George Jackson plays a fiddle tune, and I even get to play the end of the last show for 2023.

Show notes

A Christmas treat for you all – I have my son Sam in the studio with me, and we talk about a life of playing music, encouraging others, writing songs, going surfing – all the important things! He sings a new song, recently written, right here in the studio – a world premiere! There’s also some music from Alison Krauss, Mike Scott & Co, Tony Rice, the Trenwiths, Sassafras and Kenny Baker. Enjoy!

The Rice Brothers, Sassafras, Don Parmley, Doyle Lawson form the first part of the show, what a line-up! We’ve got Caroline Jones & the Trenwiths doing a Christmas song, bluegrass style (of course!) as well as the Dry Branch Fire Squad, Mac Wiseman, and a tribute to the great banjo player Terry Baucom. Blue Moon Rising also feature with a couple of songs – something for all tastes here.

I keep finding tracks that I’ve not previously played on Back Porch Bluegrass, and I think you’ll enjoy them. The Earls of Leicester, Ivan Rosenberg, Bill Evans, Detour, Rhonda Vincent, the Gibson Brothers, and Tony Rice, all playing great bluegrass music.

Back Porch Bluegrass - 07-11-2023 Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

All the elements of fine bluegrass music in this episode – driving banjo, punchy rhythms, soaring fiddles, incredibly dextrous mandolin playing, heartfelt vocals and wonderfully crafted songs. I’ve included songs from Dan Tyminski, Tony Ellis, Starlett & Big John, Rickie Simpkins, Doc Watson and even NZ’s own HCBB, to make up a show that’s purely bluegrass. Enjoy!

Show notes

I’ve chosen some favourite albums and performers for this episode of BPBg, including Laurie Lewis, the Johnson Mountain Boys, the Nashville Bluegrass Band, Merle Haggard singing songs of the great Jimmie Rodgers, and High Fidelity singing a song from their new gospel album. Lots to enjoy.
