Podcasts about Banjo

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. Toward the end of our conversation, we talk about what's next, from upcoming shows to future releases, and it's clear that Rita Bliss is just getting started.To learn more about Rita, please visit her website.

Where I talk about the fact I have a total thing about banjos, the recent folk festival that I went to and that I've been volunteering for for about 30 years. Also the difficulties and trying to find a balance between the things that Bouy my spirit and the things that need to get done but are also to Herculean and are destroying meThe photo on this episode is the vantage from my chair at South stage on Sunday at the folk festival as people are starting to set themselves up before the musicians come on. That's where that amazing morning concert happens. I thought it would be nice for you to see that beautiful canopy of leaves that creates this amazing sound as the music reflects off it.

Why have the abandoned farm houses outside of town filled up and why are the squatters shooting at each other? Are they even human? What is a “mam-mama” or a “goomah?” What state is Parabellum City in? Listen to find out!This Banjo on My Knee, episode 134 of This Gun in My Hand, was farmed and worked by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, and to buy my books, such as Sisyphus, Eat Your Heart Out, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. What musical instrument accompanies my lyrical exposition? This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. When I moved from Michigan to Houston for a year, courting my pen-pal Melinda, I heard one of her teen-aged nieces use the term “Mam-mama” for her grandmother. I developed a theory that across the South, they keep adding the sound “mam” for every generation of a matriarch. My theory was wrong. It was just one kid who had trouble pronouncing “grandmama.”2. “Goomah” is an Americanized pronunciation of the Italian word “comare,” informally used to mean mistress.3. A great aunt or second cousin in my mother's father's family published a book of genealogy and stories about the family, including a poem by somebody way back which included the down-homey line “Now Pa, you're fabricatin'.”4. Another mistake I found after recording and editing which I didn't feel like fixing: the word “this” is a demonstrative pronoun or demonstrative determiner, not a personal pronoun.Credits:The opening music was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain.

A man with black beard, no mustache and ragged hat is smiling as he leans over the steering wheel. A beautiful young black-haired woman in a patched and ragged blouse sits in the middle of the front seat with her arm behind the driver. A scowling man with a bowl haircut and grey cap (possibly a Confederate kepi) is in the passenger side of the front seat, his bare feet dangling out the side of the car with a black boar held in his lap. In the back seat are an older, heavy woman laughing widely with one tooth missing, a distressed looking young man sprawled in her lap with his feet out the side of the car, and an excited young man in a coonskin cap with a long-barrelled musket that is firing. A word balloon pointing to the man with musket says, “THIS BANJO ON MY KNEE comics.” A word balloon pointing to the driver says “SOLD TO THE AMERICAN!”

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.

In today's episode, we get to know Dr. Wasseem Emam, the founder and director of Ethical Seafood Research, a nonprofit organization which is helping to uplift the welfare of food fishes. We get into the Canadian education system, talk about the purpose of some of these organizations and how they help fish live better lives. Wasseem has spent time in a lot of different countries and he is doing his part on the ground to engage with local farmers in countries where fishing is an important aspect of life. Kick back, eat your lunch and enjoy this episode! This podcast is brought to you by the banded banjo catfish or Platystacus cotylephorus. Located on the coastal waters and in mouths of South American rivers, they reach merely a foot in length, which is not as small as you might have guessed. These fish are one of the few species that one could pluck out of the water, attach strings and play bluegrass like the instrument it's named after. Just kidding. But if you believed that, you need to be school on fish so go back and listen to more of our episodes. Cheers to you Banjo catfish!Thanks for listening to Gettin' Fishy With It!

Most people don't actually know what they want. We chase goals—career success, financial security, personal milestones—only to feel underwhelmed once we get there. Why? Because we rarely stop to ask, “What's the goal of the goal?” In the final episode of Season 3, we unpack this powerful concept (popularised by Dan Heath) and explore how the thing we think we need to get unstuck might not be the thing we truly want. Plus, we'll give you a sneak peek at what's coming in Season 4. It's a fitting finale to help you make space for a surprising second act.Discover more:INFO-GRAPHIC DOWNLOADSPACEMAKERS WEBSITE / Season 3YOUTUBERAISING TECH HEALTHY HUMANSThis episode is made possible with support from our sponsor: Banjo's Bakery Cafes This podcast is recorded and produced by Production Farm StudiosMentioned in this episode:BANJOS BAKERY PROMO #2A warm thanks to our sponsor, Banjo's Bakery Café's, who are expanding across Australia and looking for new franchisee's!

This week we feature guitar and banjo player Ron Block.  Ron is best known for his guitar and banjo work with Alison Krauss and Union Station, but he got his start growing up in southern California, later attending South Plains College and then performing with the Weary Hearts and Lynn Morris Band before joining Alison Krauss. We talk with Ron about his years with Alison and his work with his newest band Southern Legacy.

In this week's episode, we explore the whimsical world of Banjo-Kazooie (1998), Rare's beloved 3D platformer that helped define the Nintendo 64 era. We trace its surprising evolution from a scrapped RPG called Project Dream into a genre-defining collect-a-thon starring a bear and a bird. Along the way, we look at how Rare pivoted in response to Super Mario 64, embraced exploration over precision platforming, and created one of gaming's most iconic duos. We also touch on the legacy of the series, the controversial Nuts & Bolts, and Banjo's continued presence in games like Super Smash Bros. It's a nostalgic celebration of creativity, reinvention, and the golden age of Rare. Find out more at https://a-trip-down-memory-card-lane.pinecast.co

Folk Music & Beyond host JoAnn Mar spoke with Dr. Angela Wellman and Hannah Mayree, two Bay Area musicians and educators who are part of the current effort to encourage more African Americans to take up the banjo and reconnect with the early American roots music of their ancestors.

In the last year, Bay Area unhoused communities have faced an increase in forced displacement. Today, we hear directly from people caught up in Oakland's sweeps and how San Francisco officials are changing policies for those that live in recreational vehicles. Then, how the banjo is being reclaimed by Black musicians.

Musician Enda Scahill gives Oliver a comprehensive run down of his instrument - the banjo.

Les Claypool's ode to his wife, Chaney, starts side two of Of Whales and Woe, and there's certainly no woe to be found in this joyous track, which reflects the irrational emotional highs of fulfilled love, through the Claypool lens. Josh, a native Iowan, sheds some light on the lyrical references and discusses agricultural exports, because that's all Iowans talk about aside from the weather. We also play an excerpt from Les's book tour in Iowa City. That evening was captured by the radio program Live At Prairie Lights and is archived here: https://digital.lib.uiowa.edu/node/797265Get involvedInstagramFacebookEmailBurn your money
