I’ve featured my friend Tom Henderson from Tampa, FL, this week, as a tribute to the folks of Florida and eastern USA in the recent devastating storms. With his Bluegrass Parlor Band and his programme, This Is Bluegrass, did much for bluegrass music in the Tampa Bay area. I’ve also included some music from the Grascals, Patty Loveless, Larry Sparks, Doyle Lawson – a bluegrass Who’s Who, indeed. The Trenwiths, Matt & George & the Pleasant Valley Boys, and Country Ham also get some airtime. Enjoy.

Back Porch Bluegrass - 15-10-2024

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.
