It’s almost the end of 2023. Where did the year go?!

I’m already working on some exciting stuff for 2024 but, before we head into the holidays, I wanted to have a look back at 2023 on Bluegrass Jam Along as it’s been an extraordinary year.

I’ve had the opportunity to speak to some truly amazing guests. You’ll hear excerpts from a few of them in this episode, along with a recap of all the interviews on the podcast this year.

You’ll hear from:

• Sierra Hull on playing with Bela Fleck and the new music she’s working on
• Tim O’Brien on what Doc Watson means to him
• Jack Lawrence on how he came to own a D18 that Doc gave him
• Alison Krauss on spending time with Tony Rice
• Gabe Witcher on why he chose now to move on from Punch Brothers
• Caitlyn Canty on songwriting and processing life through creation 
• David Grier on hanging out with Clarence White
• Wyatt Rice on recording Church Street Blues with his brother Tony

If you missed any of these episodes (or just want to listen again) you’ll find the full list on the Bluegrass Jam Along website

We also added lots more fiddle tune backing tracks to the podcast too.

Oh, and I won an IBMA award!

I feel so lucky to get to have these conversations. Thanks for listening - happy holidays and happy picking!
