Get Up in the Cool

Get Up in the Cool features conversations and musical collaborations with some of Old Time music’s heaviest hitters, like Ken Perlman, Adam Hurt, Spencer & Rains, and Jake Blount. As an interviewer, Cameron balances an effusive curiosity for the potential of traditional music with a dogged respect for its origins. Serving as audience surrogate, Cameron asks illuminating questions to Old Time’s best and brightest while telling the larger story of the tradition’s modern era.
