This week, I’ve dug deeper into my shelves to find some of the artists whose music I enjoy, but don’t seem to get
‘picked’ so often. So the line-up for this show includes Vince Gill, Richard Bennett, the Davidson Brothers from Australia,
Patty Loveless, Doc Watson, the Spinney Brothers from Nova Scotia, Bill Evans, JD Crowe, Irene Kelley and a
host of great musicians accompanying them.

The Dreadful Snakes, Joe Mullins, Sawmill Road (Mark Miracle), Laurie Lewis, the Stanley Brothers, Claire Lynch, Mike Compton, High Fidelity, Ricky Skaggs, plus a host of others. Enjoy them with me.

On this show I get to talk with the first bass player for the HCBB, one Sandy McMillin, visiting NZ from his home in Vancouver, BC, Canada with his wife Andrea. We reminisce about our early days, and even play some of our earliest music! There’s also some songs from John Reischman & the Jaybirds, the Kody Norris Show, Aaron Foster & Aynsley Porchak, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.

November 29, 2022 Back Porch Bluegrass - 29-11-2022
There’s a great deal of variety in bluegrass music, as this episode will demonstrate. From the ‘straight ahead’ classic sound of Dan Tyminski, Hot Rize to the Flatt & Scruggs sound of The Earls Of Leicester; from the banjo-and-ballad music from Bill Keith to the emotive vocals of Laurie Lewis; the ‘family’ sound of the Bluegrass Martins to the plaintive sound of Emmy Lou Harris, there’s lots to enjoy in this show.

This show features music from Corrina Rose Logston, the Nashville Bluegrass Band, bluegrass legend Tony Ellis, the Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band, mandolinist extraordinaire Mike Compton; there’s a Christmas song (already!) from Caroline Jones and the Trenwiths, a gospel song from Ron Block, and some great bluegrass from Special Consensus and Chris Stuart. A VERY varied selection from my deep shelves.

About Back Porch Bluegrass Show

From the publisher's feed

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.
