Anybody know the reason why Franklin Wakefield always wore a Western-style shirt?
I’m just curious as to why he did it. I think it makes him look very cool and he had a good sense of style

Day in the life: Bluegrass in Bolivia
The Henhouse Prowlers are very fortunate to work with the US State Department Arts Envoy programming. One of the things they do is send American bands around the world to connect with people from different cultures using the power of music! Here’s a quick look into what a typical day of programming looks like. Bolivia for the win!

Bolivian students learn Angeline The Baker and own it!
Thought I’d share this. Henhouse Prowlers are on tour in Bolivia and stopped by a music school to teach some kids about bluegrass. Most of these kids picked this up by ear in about 5 minutes. Incredible stuff.

Bryan Sutton Hurricane Helene fundraiser
This week on my podcast I’m joined by bluegrass legend Bryan Sutton for a very special episode to benefit the IBMA Trust Fund and help people suffering the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
We talk about growing up in Asheville and how important that community was to Bryan’s musical development; about his relationship with Doc Watson and the time he got to spend with him; about how he goes about learning complex music and his thoughts on practice; why learning more than one instrument is a good thing...and his admiration for Metallica’s James Hetfield. We cover a lot of ground!
All the proceeds from this episode will go to the IBMA Trust Fund so please do donate what you can via the GoFundMe link:

How to end breaks with style? (Guitar)
So When im out playing with my band I feel like ive gotten really good on my improvised breaks, except when it comes time to jump back into rhythm playing at the very end, it always feels sloppy. Im not sure what I should to to end breaks, I watch alot of Tony stuff and thats one of my favorite things he does actually, hes so cool about finishing them up. Any Advice on this?

What's your instrument?
I live in a "non-bluegrass" part of the world. When I host jams, everyone shows up with a guitar. Just curious in the bluegrass community, what instrument is your primary instrument? Or if you're not a picker, which is your favorite/the one you'd like to learn to play?
