S2E11: On the Road: Australia!
Join Mike on his trip down under, in search of Bluegrass in Australia! He visits the National Folk Festival where musicians from across the wide continent converge. Listen in as he talks with Bruce Packard, a veteran bluegrass musician, The High Street Drifters, a hard-driving bluegrass band … and Linda Dowdy, a banjo-playing trail boss from Missouri! It’s an amazing journey, and we hope you’ll enjoy tagging along.
