Podcasts about Banjo

This past spring, Durham, North Carolina, hosted a sprawling roots music festival called Biscuits and Banjos. For the thousands of attendees, it had some similarities to a lot of folk music events around the country. But one major thing set it apart: Nearly every featured performer was Black.The event is just one part of a Black folk music revival sweeping the country that's rescuing lost traditions and challenging stereotypes that for generations have influenced things like who gets to play the banjo in America.This episode is part of a collaboration between WUNC North Carolina Public Radio and WPLN Nashville Public Radio.Featuring: Jewly Hight, senior music writer at Nashville Public Radio - WPLN Rhiannon Giddens, musician and member of Carolina Chocolate Drops Dom Flemons, musician and member of Carolina Chocolate Drops Brandi Waller-Pace, musician and scholar Kaia Kater, musician and member of New Dangerfield

This week we feature multi-instrumentalist and singer Sandy Rothman.  Sandy has a long history in bluegrass music in California, but also performed with Bill Monroe and spent time performing with bands in Ohio.  Back in the mid-1980's Sandy was in a band called the The Bay Ramblers and has just released a two-CD set of the band's music in order to honor the memory of the band's singer and guitar player Alan Senauke who passed away last year.  We will talk with Sandy about the CDs and play a few cuts during the show.  If you are interested in ordering the CD-set, contact Sandy at: rothmansandy@gmail.com

Today in news that we wish we never knew about: Xbox's reboot of Perfect Dark was nearly saved! Their dance partner? Take Two Interactive who serves as publisher of Rockstar. Yes, indeed, a recent report states that these two were working out a deal similar to Xbox selling off Tango Gameworks alongside the Hi Fi Rush IP to Krafton in order to help the company. Unfortunately, a falling out between both sides occurred over an IP ownership dispute. Now, Perfect Dark is doomed to sit in "IP Jail" with many of Xbox's other abandoned properties. At least Banjo has some company now.

When Tim "Banjo Pilot" Lien's CFI's wife called his sectional chart maps "ugly," he didn't get mad - he got creative. The result? MyAeroGlass - stunning aviation art that actually makes spouses happy (imagine that!). It also is tech-enabled to show us the current weather, because we love VFR green.Tim joins the crew to explore why midlife pilots are secretly makers and artists. From banjo picking to CNC machining, we dive into the creative minds of aviators who "glom onto things and take them way too far." Plus, discover how aviation's discipline actually enhances creativity, and why every pilot is creative whether they realize it or not.As the crew discovers: "We chose this not because it was easy, but because we thought it was easy" - the same mindset that drives both flying and creating.Mentioned on the show:Erica Gilbert's IFR course: https://gilbertaviation.com/Ted's youtube video, "serene mountain flying": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fabgHCyHI81dullgeek's youtube video, "Hand Flying in IMC": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBTlpl8kehoMyAeroGlass: https://www.myaeroglass.com/Ben's youtube video, "Pushing the envelope": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9cvl1LJV1YThe Flow state: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)Kenny G on SocialFlight, "The Jazz of Seaplane Flying with Kenny G": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzJ4g1hVftwCommunity shoutouts: New Patreon supporters Anthony C, Jeff S, Justin GMidlife Pilot Podcast:Website: https://midlifepilotpodcast.com/Patreon Community: https://www.patreon.com/MidlifePilotPodcastWatch Live on YouTube - Mondays 8PM EasternEmail: midlifepilotpodcast@gmail.comDiscord Community (via Patreon)Tonight's wisdom: "Flying IFR - where you trade scenery for stress."

This week we feature mandolin and guitar player Caleb Klauder.  Caleb has a diverse musical background that includes bluegrass, old-time, Cajun and classic country music.  His band, the Foghorn String Band, was featured in Bluegrass Unlimited in March of 2023 and he and his wife Reeb Willms have put together a new bluegrass band and we'll talk about all of that.

A native Georgian, Ed lives on a South Georgia farm with his wife, six children, nine cats, a dog, too many goats, and one rabbit named Banjo. Ed blends just the right mix of traditional stand-up, crowd work, and impressions to bring a clean, relevant show with something for everyone. His act reaches across generations and backgrounds to connect with people of all ages. Whether it's his awkward attempts to keep marital romance alive, his spot-on impressions of public figures, or riffing on the behavior of his kids, Ed's act is a blend of smart and zany that brings everyone on board for a hilarious ride. His Facebook videos have been seen by millions around the globe. You can catch Ed on Sirius XM radio, the Grand Ole Opry's Circle Network, and live at events large and small across the US.

This week we feature fiddler Jeremy Garrett.  Jeremy is a member of the Infamous Stringdusters and now has a new solo album out.  We'll talk to Jeremy about his bluegrass career, his twenty years with the Stringdusters, his songwriting and the new album.  You will also hear a few cuts from the album.

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Rita Bliss, a fantastic musician, songwriter, and banjo player whose work blends old-time, Americana, and folk traditions with a fresh, personal twist. We discuss her musical journey, the deep roots of music in her family, and how growing up surrounded by instruments and storytelling influenced her voice and perspective. Rita opens up about her move to Austin, the vibrant music scene there, and how it's influenced her as both a performer and a writer.We dive into her songwriting process, the role of the banjo in her music, and the joy (and challenge) of recording and releasing new work. Rita shares some behind-the-scenes stories from recent singles and what it's like to bring those songs to life in the studio. There's also a lot of warmth in how she talks about live performances, that real-time connection with an audience that keeps the music breathing and evolving.Originally from New York, Rita has carved out a unique voice in the Americana world with a sound that's both grounded in tradition and deeply personal. Her thoughtful lyrics, intricate banjo work, and easygoing presence make her a compelling artist to watch.

23 janvier 1910. Nous sommes dans une roulotte, à Liberchies, au lieu-dit « la mare aux corbeaux », pas très loin de Charleroi. C'est là que Laurence, que l'on appelle Negros, donne naissance au petit Jean que l'on nommera Django. Avec son frère Joseph, le gamin fera les 400 coups, sans jamais oublier de se défouler sur son banjo-guitare. Une famille de voyageurs, d'esprits libres, instinctifs. Les coups de chance, les faux pas, les saletés du destin, celui qui deviendra le roi du swing, semble toujours tourner autour, rester juste à côté. Suivre son propre chemin, celui d'un héros du peuple tzigane, celui de Django Reinhardt. Avec nous Alexis Salatko. « Folles de Django » aux éditions Robert Laffont Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?
