This week's episode is a special IBMA World of Bluegrass 2023 round up.

I was incredibly lucky to be nominated for an IBMA Momentum Award for the podcast, so I made the trip over from the UK to Raleigh for the awards ceremony and the conference. 

While I was there I interviewed a few people, some you'll be very familiar with, some maybe less so, about their experiences of IBMA and what it means to the bluegrass community.

My guests include:

• Alex Graf
• Fred Kosak of Stillhouse Junkies
• Daniel Patrick from the Mandolins and Beer podcast
• Frank Solivan of Tone Slabs
• Marcel Ardans from Lessons With Marcel
• Hillary Klug

I also spoke to Scott, one of the many, many volunteers who help keep IBMA running year in year out.

I had an amazing few days at IBMA....and I won the award too!
Happy picking.
Matt
