Americana artist Dominica Knapp learned clawhammer banjo after seeing Abigail Washburn in concert.  She was smitten with the sound and asked for a banjo for Christmas.  The COVID shutdown allowed her the time to learn.

If you need more banjo in your life, this list was hand-picked for you.  This episode is all about the brilliant banjo players that inspire countless guitar journeys, including my own—and hopefully yours! But first, a little storytime. I remember back when I was a fledgling in the world of bluegrass and folk music at the Old Town School of Folk. I stumbled upon my first bluegrass CD, an Earl Scruggs album. Let me tell you, that album shook my world and cast a profound influence on my guitar journey. It set me on a path of exploration into the rich and vibrant landscape of this bluegrass and folk. Today, I'm excited to share with you some banjo wizards, divided into three sections. First, we have "The Classics", the legends who shaped the bluegrass scene: Earl Scruggs, Sonny Osborne, and J.D. Crowe. Their work is timeless and continues to influence musicians around the world. Then, we'll delve into the realm of "Old-Time Players", featuring the likes of Rhiannon Giddens, Nora Brown, and Chris Coole. They're keeping the traditional banjo sound aliave, fusing it with their unique styles and creating something truly mesmerizing. Lastly, we can't forget the "Must-Know Players", contemporary artists who have reinvented the banjo wheel in many ways. Here, we have Riley Baugus, Ken Perlman, and Abigail Washburn, whose sounds are vital to any banjo or guitar enthusiast. Listening to banjo players is an incredibly enriching experience. Not only does it help you appreciate the roots of American folk music, but it also broadens your musical horizons, contributing to both your banjo and guitar skills.

Joe Troop is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter hailing originally from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The founder of GRAMMY-nominated stringband Che Apalache, Joe's music is deeply inspired by his decade living in Buenos Aires and traveling throughout Latin America. When the pandemic unexpectedly landed him back in North Carolina, he spent 2020 learning direct action from stalwart organizers. In 2021 he channeled that energy into his homecoming album Borrowed Time. The record was co-produced with Jason Richmond (The Avett Brothers, Branford Marsalis) and features luminaries like Béla Fleck (who produced Che Apalache's GRAMMY-nominated album), Abigail Washburn, Tim O'Brien, and Charlie Hunter, but the visceral songwriting and fine-crafted instrumentals speak for themselves. Joe's music reflects both his time spent living abroad as well as his upbringing in the North Carolina Piedmont. Now based in Durham, he leads various ensembles, which play his original music. Joe has also most recently partnered with powerhouse Venezuelan folk music legend Larry Bellorín. The duo is on a mission to show that music has no borders and is already touring extensively.Larry & Joe's most recent single, Caballo Viejo

Abigail Washburn is a celebrated banjo player and singer, both in English and Chinese. These two are partners in music and in life — recovering something ancient and deeply American all at once, bringing both beauty and refreshment to what they play and how they live.Béla Fleck has recorded over 40 albums, most famously with The Flecktones and New Grass Revival. His albums include Flight of the Cosmic Hippo, UFO Tofu, and Rocket Science. He has released two full album collaborations with Abigail Washburn, Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn and Echo in the Valley. In 2020, he released Throw Down Your Heart: The Complete Africa Sessions. His latest album is, My Bluegrass Heart. Abigail Washburn is a clawhammer banjo player and singer. Her solo albums include Song of the Traveling Daughter and City of Refuge. Her newest album is Wu Fei And Abigail Washburn, a collaboration with her longtime friend, the renowned guzheng player Wu Fei. This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode "Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn — Truth, Beauty, Banjo."

BEN SOLLEE is Kentucky-born cellist, singer-songwriter, and composer known for his innovative playing style, genre-bending songwriting, electrifying performances, political activism, and wide appeal. Like his contemporaries Chris Thile and Abigail Washburn, Sollee's music is difficult to pin down. It's Ben's quality of narrative and presence on stage that unifies his musical influences. This past year Ben has performed at Carnegie Hall, wrote the score for the documentary film Maidentrip, toured for two weeks in Europe and returned to the United States to perform with the Charlotte Ballet. THE PORTLAND CELLO PROJECT has wowed audiences all over the country with extravagant performances. Since the group's inception in late 2007, the group has built a reputation mixing genres and blurring musical lines and perceptions wherever they go. No two shows are alike, with a repertoire now numbering over 1,000 pieces of music both expected and unexpected to come from a cello. The Cello Project's stage setup ranges from the very simple (4-6 cellos), to the all out epic (which has included 12 cellos playing with full choirs, winds, horns, and numerous percussion players). WoodSongs Kid: Lily Murphy is 15 years old and from Midway, Kentucky. She started playing cello in the 7th grade with the orchestra.

This week on Inside Appalachia, we're revisiting a show that originally aired last fall, that prominently features bold mountain women who are making a difference in their communities. We hear what happens when Abigail Washburn and Wu Fei combine Appalachian and Chinese folk music. We also meet the driving force behind a family-owned Black newspaper that's been publishing since 1939. Claudia Whitworth began working there for her father in 1945, and three quarters of a century later still takes an active role as publisher of the Roanoke Tribune. And we'll meet Rosemary Ketchum, a community activist who ran for city council in Wheeling, West Virginia. We'll learn how she became West Virginia's first transgender person to be elected to public office.  Appalachia And China Can you blend Appalachian and Chinese folk music successfully? Abigail Washburn and Wu Fei spoke with Lizzie Peabody, host of the Smithsonian Institution's podcast Sidedoor, about how they combined their two instruments — the banjo and the guzheng — to produce a sound that's both timeless and also reflects thousands of years of history from different parts of the world. Rosemary When Rosemary Ketchum moves to Wheeling, West Virginia as a child, she remembers being struck by it's moniker, "The Friendly City." She saw residents struggling with food security and homelessness and decided to help. Her journey continued when she ran fo the Wheeling City Council, becoming the first transgender person in the state to be elected to office. West Virginia Public Broadcasting Producers Corey Knollinger and Chuck Kleine followed Ketchum to produce a film about her year-long campaign. Check out the half-hour documentary here. Roanoke Tribune Claudia Whitworth has led the Roanoke Tribune, a family-owned, African American newspaper, through segregation, the destruction of its building during urban renewal, and now the pandemic and death of print newspapers.  Yet Whitworth, now in her 90s, has never relented in the weekly newspaper's mission, which appears in its masthead: “Making and Recording Black History since 1939!” Whitworth told Inside Appalachia co-host Mason Adams that she believes her newspaper's secret for success lies in her devotion to telling real stories from her community. Years back, at a gathering of Black publishers from across the country, Whitworth pushed back when a fellow publisher declared that “good news doesn't sell.” After more than eight decades — and more than 75 years since she went to work there — her paper is still going strong. Adams had this to say about fierce women of Appalachia: “Growing up in the mountains, I saw fierce women everywhere I looked. From my great aunt Willie Sue, who served as a medic in World War II, to Ms. McGuire at Sharon Elementary School, who drilled a generation of Allegheny County kids in history and politics. They all show us that we don't have to be mean or ornery to be fiercer. We can be kind, and listen to others, and reflect back what we see and hear. These women are making a stand for what they believe in — a long and rich tradition here, inside Appalachia.”

BIG NEWS FOR MIDDLE CLASS ROCK STAR! We're now reaching 25 FM frequencies throughout Colorado via Chris K's radio show, The Colorado Playlist. My guest this week is Elephant Revival founding member, Dango Rose. For seventeen years, Dango traveled nationally and internationally in touring bands. In 2006, he co-founded Elephant Revival and spent eleven years performing and recording with this influential outfit that pioneered the genre, “Transcendental Folk.” Rose penned band favorites like, When I Fall, The Pasture, Jet Lag Blues and others. Since Elephant Revival decided to go on hiatus in May 2018, Dango has taken refuge in the recording studio while focusing upon songwriting collaborations with various artists. Here he melds his background in traditional forms with the more transformational elements of musical craft. As journalist Marc Tonglen explains, “He reminds me of a cross between Leonard Cohen, Cat Stevens and Alan Parsons, while remaining deeply embedded in the progressive Indie-Folk scene. His voice is distinctive, words penetrating and his arrangements— on the edge, yet engaging." In this episode, we talk about Rose's most recent release, Life's Too Short, which came out on November 13. We also chat about his travels in various touring bands and getting to perform alongside the likes of Abigail Washburn and Béla Fleck, how Elephant Revival got started, selling out Red Rocks, and what it's like to be stuck with Pete Seeger in a snowed in cabin. Towards the end of the conversation, Dango talks about Elephant Collective, his own studio, production house, and artist empowerment program. Interested artists can reach out to Dango through the Elephant Collective links below.

BELA FLECK AND ABIGAIL WASHBURN, “the king and queen of the banjo” (Paste Magazine), have a musical partnership like no other. Béla Fleck is a fifteen-time Grammy Award winner who has taken the instrument across multiple genres, and Abigail Washburn a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who re-radicalized it by combining it with Far East cul-ture and sounds. The duo's self-titled debut earned the 2016 Grammy for Best Folk Album. The duo play songs from their wildly innovative second album ‘Echo in the Valley' on Rounder Records.

It's a love story, with an all banjo soundtrack. Hollywood would never buy the pitch. But it's better that it's real life. Béla Fleck is the most famous banjo player of his time, a searcher who's played and preserved traditional bluegrass while innovating on his instrument in jazz fusion and classical concert music, among many other things. Abigail Washburn, with great suddenness, embraced Appalachian old time banjo and folk singing, becoming one of the most revered traditional artists of her generation. These two esteemed but very different artists found one another fascinating and then captivating. Now they're touring with their young son and releasing duo music that sounds like nothing that's ever come before it. Old time, bluegrass and the post-bluegrass fusion styles innovated by Béla Fleck all exist today in roots music side by side. But on their two albums as a duo, Béla and Abby fuse and mesh their vivid instrumental voices in sometimes uncanny ways. The new project is titled Echo In The Valley. Also, a visit to the video studio of Steve Boyle, who got the job restoring the historic Jimmy Dean Show, a major national platform for country music between 1963 and 1966.

On the cover of Ben Sollee's new album Kentucky Native, an astronaut with a pick axe on his shoulder looks at Earth from the surface of the moon, contemplating loneliness and the fragility of life. He's the subject of the song “Moon Miner” on the artist's thirteenth recording, one that does some mining of its own - of the Kentucky bluegrass tradition and of his state's complicated economic and environmental evolution. In more than a decade of a multi-faceted career, Sollee has never settled into a predictable pattern of recording and performing. His ensembles shift. He takes on conceptual projects between studio sessions, such as scoring a ballet or touring entirely by recumbent bicycle. His profile rose as a member of the globe-touring Sparrow Quartet with Bela Fleck, Abigail Washburn and Casey Driessen. At Fleck's suggestion, Sollee developed a prolific solo voice. Yet he nearly always performs with his high school jazz band friend Jordin Ellis, one of the best drummers around.  His classical training and his folk muse are in constant dialogue, so his music is always surprising. One thing he's never done before now is dive explicitly into the bluegrass tradition that was at least nominally born in his home state of Kentucky. Unsurprisingly, his interpretation sounds like nothing else that's come before it.

Ever wonder what happens when you mix the world's premiere banjo player and a singing, clog dancing, clawhammer banjo playing TED Fellow? Well you're about to find out. In addition to being married Béla and Abigail tour, record and perform together. In our interview we discuss everything from "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" to playing the banjo for God.

This episode on Critical Karaoke, we're talking with banjo superstars Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn on the subject of arrangements—musical, personal, and otherwise.  We cover a range of topics with this married musical couple, from collaboration on their self-titled duet album, to ambassadorship and humanitarian work, to raising a child together.  In addition to their own recordings, we delve into the music of the Flecktones, Béla Bartok, Doc Watson, and many others.  Plus: Special live in-studio recordings of “New South Africa” and “What Are They Doing in Heaven Today?”

A teaser for our upcoming episode with banjo superstars Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn.  Coming soon to a radio or podcast near you!

Abigail Washburn always considered singing and songwriting a sideline and never thought she could make a career of it. But a sharp-eared music exec knew better. After overhearing her play at a bluegrass convention, he signed her on the spot to a Nashville record deal. She set aside her plans to become a lawyer in China, took up music full time, turned out a series of highly regarded albums and began a musical partnership with banjo master Béla Fleck. Then came love, marriage, baby carriage – and now their first duo album. Abby and I talked about her highly empathetic approach to song, the evolution of her voice, how a suburban Midwestern girl became a countrified tunesmith and how she and Béla learned to blend their two very different banjo styles and sensibilities.
