Margo Price joins the green room conversation after her festival performance and moments before her late night exclusive show at Sweetwater Music Hall later that evening - musing on demystifying psilocybin, her journey to “California Sober” status, touring with her husband of 20-years, and her penchant for speaking out on important issues. Dobbrow guitar-player-extraordinaire, Anders Beck of Greensky Bluegrass, follows with what turns out to be a “cosmic” discussion with host Dennis Strazulo about Anders' all-time favorite Grateful Dead show which coincidentally was Dennis' first, then reflecting  on the thrill of playing with his heroes and sharing some memorable stories experienced along the way. Eric Johnson of Fruit Bats closes out chatting about his Marin County music connection, the resurgence of his band, their expanding audience, and the inspiration behind his music.CreditsCalifornia Sober (feat.

I'm super pumped to speak with Anders Beck for Episode 226!! Anders is the dobro player for Greensky Bluegrass, whose unique blend of Bluegrass and Rock and makes it one of the most compelling sounds in live music today.  Greensky has been touring practically non-stop for over 20 years, and Anders stopped in to chat with me just after completing their Winter Tour with yet another sold out two-night run at the Ryman Auditorium. Anders has a fun-loving and super chill vibe, and he is filled with gratitude for his place in life. “Music means live music,” Anders explained to me, and his appreciation for doing exactly what he set out to do; that is, play live music in a successful touring band, is utterly inspiring and heart-warming. Anders embodies what music is all about, and I'm here for it. Join both of us for this week's episode!!  For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

In this groundbreaking episode of Tech Talks Daily, we're joined by Anders Beck, Vice President of Strategy and Innovation at Universal Robots, to explore the transformative role of AI in industrial automation. As we stand at the cusp of a new era in manufacturing, Beck guides us through how AI is revolutionizing factories and redefining the future of automation. We start by addressing a common misconception: while generative AI may be in its nascent stages, AI technology is already leaving a significant mark on the manufacturing industry. Beck shares insights into how AI, mainly through advancements in computer vision and perception technologies, enables robots to interact with the physical world in previously thought impossible ways. He highlights Apera AI's '4D Vision' technology, which grants robots humanlike perception, allowing them to understand and manipulate objects in disordered environments – a critical breakthrough in automation. Furthermore, Beck discusses how AI empowers robots to handle a variety of objects without the need for prior teaching or programming. This flexibility is crucial in modern manufacturing environments, where adapting to different shapes and sizes of objects can dramatically increase efficiency and reduce downtime. Precision in manufacturing is another focal point. Beck delves into how AI, as demonstrated by Inbolt's AI-based Inbrain technology, processes vast amounts of 3D data at high frequencies. This capability enables robots to perform tasks with incredible accuracy, such as the intricate assembly of gears, by adapting their trajectory in real-time based on the position and orientation of workpieces. Looking towards the future, Beck shares his vision of the 'future factory,' heavily reliant on AI and robotics. This evolution promises performance improvements, cost savings, and a significant shift in the roles of human workers, who can focus on more creative and less repetitive tasks. Throughout the episode, we will also cover the biggest challenges facing the integration of AI in manufacturing, from finding the right implementation strategies to training and understanding the iterative nature of AI development. Beck provides valuable advice for manufacturers looking to embrace AI, encouraging them to be bold and open-minded in piloting these technologies in natural production settings. This conversation with Anders Beck is not just about the present state of AI in industrial automation but also a look into the future – where AI and robotics are not just tools but integral parts of a brighter, more efficient, and innovative manufacturing landscape.

In March of 2021 I invited my oldest musical cohort and one of my best friends, Anders Beck to join me on The Happy Hour. Anders and I spent the first 3 or 4 years of our careers in the front seats of my 92 Ford Explorer and have 20 years of history. I love him dearly and I'm not pulling any punches in this episode. We were joined by our Broke Mountain Bluegrass Bandmate Jon Stickley for this musical retrospective. I love Anders' humor and insight and find him to be endlessly inspiring. :08 Soundbite 1:00 Introduction 2:57 Rise Sun 6:34 Howard Hughes Blues 12:20 Interview 41:49 All That I Can Take 48:44 Reservoir Hill 52:00 Casual Wednesday 56:24 How Far I'd Fall 1:00:35 Stickley thinking about Andy Thorn 1:02:59 Long Lonesome Day 1:07:56 Outro Follow us!

Featured interview this week is Anders Beck, VP of Innovation and Strategy at Universal Robots. Anders introduces us to the new UR20 robot that was launched at Automatica 2022 this week.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Greensky Bluegrass over Zoom video! Greensky Bluegrass are thrilled to announce their return to Colorado for four unforgettable performances. The band will kick things off with An Evening With Greensky Bluegrass Sept 14 and 15 at the Dillon Amphiteater. Then, the band will head down the mountain to Morrison for two more fun-filled evenings at Red Rocks Sepr 16 and 17. Special guests for Red Rocks TBA. For more information and all up to date news and tour info visit greenskybluegrass.com. Earlier this year, the band released their eighth studio album Stress Dreams via Thirty Tigers. Ahead of the release, Stress Dreams received high praise from critics. Garden & Gun calls the album "one of the most complete and engaging of the group's more than twenty-year career" and Glide says “Stress Dreams perfectly exemplifies, once again, why Greensky Bluegrass is heralded as one of the most important & influential bands of the modern progressive-bluegrass era.” About Greensky Bluegrass:Since their 2000 formation in Kalamazoo, MI, the quartet—Anders Beck [dobro], Michael Arlen Bont [banjo], Dave Bruzza [guitar], Mike Devol [upright bass], and Paul Hoffman [mandolin]—have unassumingly progressed into a phenomenon on their own terms with the undying support of a devout audience. Rolling back and forth across North America on successive tours, they've sold out multiple dates at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Ryman Auditorium, the Fillmore Detroit, Riviera Theater Chicago, and many more. Beyond standout sets at Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, New Orleans Jazz Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and Austin City Limits, they co-own and have headlined 4848 Festival and Strings & Sol. In 2019, "All For Money" marked their second #1 debut on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums Chart and third straight Top 3 entry. They've also earned critical acclaim from Billboard, Parade, NPR, and Rolling Stone who hailed them as “representing the genre for a whole new generation.” For the past century, bluegrass music has traditionally relayed real tales of American life, struggle, tragedy, and triumph. It gives a voice to the quiet, yet colorful stories woven into the fabric of the country itself. Greensky Bluegrass live these stories through their records and performances. When touring ceased in 2020 in the face of the global pandemic, the band hunkered down and compiled demos individually at first, sharing emails and voice notes. In July 2020, they got together for the first time in four months, dedicating rehearsals to the development of the new material. Once circumstances safely permitted, they recorded what would become Stress Dreams during a session in Guilford, VT and two sessions in Asheville, NC with frequent collaborator “and old friend” Dominic John Davis as producer and “wizard engineer” Glenn Brown mixing. They preserved the hallmarks of their sound while widening its expanse. “Greensky is and always has been very unique in our world,” says Paul Hoffman. “We put our love, energy, and focus into what we appreciate about our music. We come together as a band in a way that's organic. We take a lot of pride in how we grow and challenge each other too. We're maturing together. I think we get more Greensky all of the time.”We want to hear from you!

Rob talks with Greensky Bluegrass dobro player Anders Beck about his love of the Grateful Dead from his early days of learning guitar in high school to his professed current daily listening of 70's Dead.  Anders testifies to the power of the Dead in the modern Bluegrass scene and the influence of Jerry Garcia and Old And In The Way in turning so many people on to the genre.   We honor the Dixie Cups in the Black Music Moment,  continue the talk about Dan Healy in the Sarno Music Solutions Breakdown, and talk with Andy Coe about his group the Andy Coe Band in the Seattle, Washington area in the There is a Dead Cover Band in Every Town. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/themusicplays)http://www.paypal.me//themusicplayshttp://www.themusicplaystheband.netSarno Music SolutionsProducing the finest musical instrument audio gear, designed and hand-built in St. Louis, MissouriBlue Jade Audio MasteringSt louis’s primary audio mastering service since 1999The Authenticity AcademyGet in touch with your authentic self.

In this episode of the Live from Banjo Podcast we discuss the comfort and anonymity of mask life, The Infamous Stringduster's new Christmas album, Dust the Halls,  Travis' life before and after his entrance into the Dusters, winning IBMAs and Grammy's, staying open to new ideas, detaching from labels, and the Travis Book Happy Hour. Travis' positive attitude and accepting nature are contagious, and it only seems appropriate to entitle this episode "Happy Hour."  Please enjoy my conversation with Mr. Travis Book.  In the post show discussion we mention the Ram Dass podcasts, which can be found here. 

Andy Thorn has been the banjo player for the Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass Jam Band, Leftover Salmon, for over 10 years.  However, he has been preparing nearly his entire life, as he has both loved and dedicated himself to music since he was very young.  His positive attitude, eclectic musical background, and vast banjo knowledge has allowed Andy to play in bands with current members of Greensky Bluegrass, Mandolin Orange, The Infamous Stringdusters, Che Apalache and the Jon Stickley Trio, to name a few.  Recently Andy put out an EP with his former LOS pianist/keyboardist Erik Deutsch.  Deutsch & Thorn's "Tangled Sea," successfully marries the banjo and the piano, and highlights Andy Thorns ability to play banjo in ever changing settings and styles.  The album is available at andythornmusic.com, along with other merch, and updates on his music and live performances, so please check it out.  Also, please join me as we take a deep dive into Andy's early years, and his serendipitous path to ending up in a band, which he was also a huge fan of growing up.  Please stop by livefrombanjo.com, and become a "LFB Band Member" and/or follow us on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.  Thanks! 

Many years ago I saw Jerry Douglas play here in Toronto with the Derek Trucks Band and I was completely mesmerized by the tone of the dobro and the way in which Jerry commanded the instrument. Since then I’ve had the good fortune of seeing Andy Hall and Anders Beck play live and obviously on tape and I still can’t believe how cool the Dobro, or rather the resophonic guitar sounds when in capable hands. So when I heard Andy Hall the slide/dobro/resophonic guitar player of The Infamous Stringdusters was releasing a record, I thought it would be a great time to get in touch and talk about the record itself, but also the instrument I think we all don’t know enough about. Before we get to his answer, please keep in mind this was recorded some time ago, so by now you know that they’ve played some live shows and have been in the studio making music as a band. Also when we talked about dobro players, I’m sure neither of us purposely forgot to mention Anders Beck, but of course we both hail him in high regard. My conversation though started when I asked Andy if this solo record was planned, or if time away from the Dusters due to the pandemic inspired the release.

"Rob and Seth take over the patio at Arden’s Garden in the Little Five Points section of Atlanta to interview, and even enjoy some brief performances from Jon Stickley. This Chapel Hill/Durham-based acoustic musician may very well owe some of his fiery approach to bands indigenous to “The Triangle” (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) like Polvo and SharkQuest. Stickley talks about their influence, and about his days drumming in punk bands. He would meet Andy “Crawdad” Thorn (Larry Keel Experience, Leftover Salmon) in high school, and when Thorn gave Jon some Bela Fleck and David Grisman cds, Jon’s life was forever changed. Even while playing in punk bands and his own indie rock band (an experience that would ultimately be key in his songwriting development), Jon would become a fervent fan and student of bluegrass and the mandolin. While an opportunity to be an assistant park ranger in Alaska did not allow him to accept Anders Beck’s (Greensky Bluegrass) initial invitation for him to join Broke Mountain, he would eventually join them on guitar. He also revisited the mandolin to tour with North Carolina bands the Biscuit Burners and Town Mountain. However a fellow musician noticed his strong love of the guitar and encouraged Jon to focus on that. Jon agreed and would in turn decide to start his own band. Around this same time Billy Gilmore (Grass Is Dead) introduced Jon to Lyndsay Pruitt. Pruitt had toured with Black Mozart Ensemble, a side project of Flecktones drummer, “Futureman.” Pruitt would join Jon’s trio, and her playing quickly became an immediate influence on Jon’s songwriting. We also learn about the unusual residency their new drummer Hunter “JamChops” Deacon experienced. The band not only does more “off the map” improvisation since Deacon joined, but some of these improvisations have also become seeds for future compositions. During the closing segment, Seth and Rob share some of their experiences at this year’s Electric Forest festival and we are treated to two songs from the Jon Stickley Trio cd, Maybe Believe. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com All social media management, promotion and website maintenance/building done by Harris Sullivan. wTnS is a proud partner of the Osiris Podcast Network.

Seth and Rob spend part of the intro talking about Benny “Burle” Galloway who is discussed extensively in this portion of the interview, and who is part of this podcast’s third live event at City Winery on March 28. In the interview we hear about the young Anders Beck heard a dobro come out of a tent at Telluride Bluegrass and was lured over first to the tent, and then to the world of a dobro. He would quickly dive in and become a rabid learner, and with extensive practice and the strict and candid tutelage of Sally Van Meter he was able to raise above the significant “virtuosity bar” of the bluegrass world. We learn about an inspiring Leftover Salmon show and his early days in Broke Mountain and how a fortuitous encounter while working in a music store would become the genesis for the Wayward Sons. This is the interview when Rob dubs Benny “Berle” Galloway the “Col Bruce of Colorado” (which has morphed into “Colorado Colonel.”) as Anders talks extensively about how he was influenced by this low-key enigmatic Colorado icon. The discussion moves briefly to songwriting in general and how writing credits are handed out, before returning to his formative days in the Wayward Sons. We even hear about how around how Anders would ultimately ask to join a band that he had onced judged at a contest, Greensky Bluegrass. Rob’s Nathan Moore "Hippie Fiasco" shirt leads to a conversation about how Anders and his bandmate Paul Hoffman had met Turner while hanging out for hours at “The Spot” on JamCruise. Anders also offers some insight about collaborating with Phil Lesh on Grateful Dead AND Greensky Bluegrass material and how the band goaded him to “take the reigns” a little bit. We also talk about he inspired by his philanthropic parents (who knew Arthur Ashe and started many tennis related non-profits) and girlfriend Hilary (who started a Colorado company to help businesses define their charitable goals and connecting them with appropriate non-profits). wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner, with this episode produced by both he and Seth Weiner, and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com wTnS is a proud sponsor of the Osiris Podcast Network.

This episode Seth and Rob excitedly announce their upcoming live event at City Winery on March 28. This event features Benny “Burle” Galloway and the subject of this interview, Greensky Bluegrass dobroist Anders Beck. The hosts chatted with him backstage at The Tabernacle before the band’s wonderful show there last fall. They talk about the way Greensky had on their previous Atlanta visit honored legendary Phish shows which had happened in the same room 24 years previous to Greensky's January visit there. We also hear about Mike Gordon attending one of Greensky’s previous Atlanta shows. We learn how much effort the band puts into their setlists, Beck speaks of the significance of the “One Up” in Denver and he also shares the unusual evolution of the song “In Control” as well as a triumphant moment in the studio while recording, “Living Over.” We also learn some of his views on improvisation, about the influence of Leftover Salmon and his feelings about working with the excellent producer Steve Berlin. There are also great stories throughout, including one in which a certain scolding the band received at San Francisco’s Fillmore turned into a moment of celebration. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner, with this episode produced by both he and Seth Weiner, and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com wTnS is a proud sponsor of the Osiris Podcast Network.
