Been listening to a ton of Watchhouse lately, formerly Mandolin Orange so I got a little cover of Gospel Shoes going. Do I need more flatpicking parts :)

I am in Australia and new to this forum, what a great resource to find music! I've been busy following up on a lot of good suggestions by members in past posts. I heard this on local radio here and had to look it up online. I ended up going to his Bandcamp to find out more and it has Micheal Cleveland listed for mando and fiddle in the track credits! What sucks is its just a single. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pbkbeVd2GM

Does Greensky have any songs about MI?

Edit: figured out what it is, Austin City Limits, season 33 episode 14 on PBS, 2007 Hardly Strictly. Now hopefully I can find a copy/stream somewhere!

I used to have a video saved on my old DVR like maybe 15+ years ago of Earl Scruggs and Friends playing Foggy Mountain Breakdown at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, I think it was from 2006 or 2007. I think it was shown on AXS tv or whatever the music channel was, so it was pro shot. It had *I think* Bryan Sutton flatpicking, a guy in a sports jacket playing a Strat who was flying but still had a super casual look on his face, and most importantly it was the year he had a lady with a skirt on playing the lap steel guitar. It's my favorite all-time performance of that song, it's just so great. I've found a bad copy of another performance from Hardly Strictly, but it's not the same year I'm looking for. And of course there are several others of him and various people playing, like Vince Gill, Leon Russell, etc. But I'm looking for this exact one I've described. Years ago I managed find it online, I think it was on Vimeo or something like that, but now I can't find it there or anywhere no matter what million search terms I enter. I'm assuming it was taken down. I've looked on the official website, all over YouTube, Vimeo, Google, etc. It just occurred to me I could ask on Reddit. If anyone can help, I'd really owe you one!

There’s a concert venue about an hour from my house that is having a week of Bluegrass. I can’t afford to go to every show so I’m trying to pick just one. Cast your vote, who would you go see from the following list?

*Sorry for the typo in the poll. Should say Sam Bush

I got to chat to legendary sound engineer Dave Sinko for the podcast this week! Thought some of you might enjoy it.

We talked about his 17 year collaboration with Punch Brothers, including running their live sound, from using mics and pickups on every instrument, right down to single mic shows (and most points in between).

We also chatted about Dave’s long standing collaboration with Edgar Meyer, recording some of the most influential records in all of acoustic music, including ‘Uncommon Ritual’, plus why building a racing yacht is very similar to building a mandolin (who knew!) and why he prefers the term ‘recordist’ to engineer.

There’s a song I hear every few weeks while I’m out (SW Montana) that fires me up every time. It sounds a lot like John R. Miller but more bluegrass. The only lyrics I can recall are towards the end, “Out on the ocean, the stars are…”

I know this is a long shot but I’ve been searching for MONTHS.

I’m gonna preface this by saying that Jerry Garcia and Tony Rice are among the top of my list when it comes to guitar heroes. Of course, this means that I have listened to “The Pizza Tapes” uncountably many times. There is something that sort of caught me by surprise on a recent listen. I don’t know why it never occurred to me before, but Tony seems super awkward in the first half of the session. He keeps asking if they are rolling and it seems like he is really holding his playing back. I think he was nervous to be playing with Jerry! Tony seemed to chill out by eventually and you can hear it in his playing. By the end of the album Jerry sounds beat and ready to crash but Tony is amped up and sounds like he wants to keep going. Anyway, I thought some of you might know what the vibe was actually like during that studio session. Maybe it’s all in my head 😆

Hello, I have recently discovered that blue grass is awesome, and I’d love some album recommendations of the classics and favorites that I should know!!

Thanks :)

Does anybody have the tabs for guitar on this song? Can’t find it anywhere

I'm fairly new to bluegrass (I'm from central europe, which isn't really known for it's love of country music, haha). I recently fell in love with the Lonesome Moonlight Waltz by Bill Monroe and would be very very grateful for similar tunes you guys love!

I’m fairly new to guitar, been playing for roughly 2 months. I was told by my guitar teacher and others that Recording King Guitars are very reasonably priced and sound great. After some searching online I found a Road King Grand auditorium for a great deal. So I bought it. After some looking around and attending a bluegrass event, I noticed there is nobody playing a guitar with a cutaway. Does the cutaway affect the sound for bluegrass guitar? Did I buy the wrong kind for bluegrass? I would love to hear some advice, thanks in advance

What some songs or artists you could recommend me to get into blue grass I’m a big fan of Zach Bryan (ik he’s not blue grass) and John butler trio (which idk if that’s blue grass). thank you!
