    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.

    Cyclone Gabrielle is currently attacking the North Island of New Zealand, with lots of areas affected by the intense winds and rain. Being confined to the cabin means lots of time for listening to bluegrass, and there’s a great line-up here on Back Porch Bluegrass. High Fidelity, Thomas Porter, Alison Krauss & Union Station, the Lonely Heartstring Band, the Kentucky Bluebelles, as well as touring band Sassafras, whose concerts are regrettably being affected by the storms.

    My good friend Barry (Baz) Paterson is in the studio with me. He’s a great singer and guitarist, and has loved bluegrass music for as long as I have. I’m playing some of his selections, together with some of our regular performers, including Laurie Lewis & Tom Rozum, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, the Sonoran Dogs, Special Consensus, Ramona Church, the Country Gentlemen, and Lester Flatt & Mac Wiseman. We’ve also got a track from Baz’s first band, Dunedin-based Bluegrass Expedition.

A couple of gems from Merle Haggard’s recordings of Jimmie Rodgers’ songs, rounded out with the Country Gentlemen, Flatt Lonesome and Curly Seckler.
