Interview with David Grier for Banjo Studio

At the end of January I interviewed flat picking guitar phenom, David Grier for the Banjo Studio Podcast.. He has a very extensive career and an incredibly dextrous touch. If you are interested in bluegrass at all, this will be something to check out.

Banjo Studio says:

David Grier is one of the greatest flatpicking guitarists of all time. Listen to his reflections on Tony Rice's influence, the direction of bluegrass today, his own influences, and more.

Podcast interview with Mary Gauthier at Banjostudio.com

Another episode of the series I’m working on for The Banjo Studio. This time with Mary Gauthier. If you don’t know her songwriting, you should!

Banjo Studio says:

Mary Gauthier is one of the most articulate and poignant songwriters of our time. She grew up in southern Louisiana, moved to the Boston area where she started her singer/songwriter career and is now based in Nashville. Her most recent record, Rifles And Rosary Beads was nominated for a Grammy Award. This record consists of songs she co-wrote with U.S. military veterans and their families. Mary is currently working on a book about her life journey. 

Host Jonathan Freilich talks with Mary about what brought her to a place of such clarity in her songwriting, what motivates her, and what she is currently working on.
