Podcast appearances and mentions of Billy Strings

We are extremely excited to have Mason Via join us for this week's episode of No Simple Road! Mason opens up about the highs and lows of touring life, balancing the demands of performance with personal health, and finding harmony between the expectations of a musician's life and the realities of constant travel. Our conversation meanders through Mason's experiences growing up in a festival community, where he honed his craft at fiddlers conventions, finding the soul of music in lively campgrounds rather than grand stages. We discuss the delicate balance between achieving fame and maintaining genuine fan connections, inspired by artists like Billy Strings who masterfully blend mainstream appeal with grassroots intimacy. Mason reflects on the resurgence of bluegrass music and the crucial role of community in both its education and practice, where collaboration and rhythm create a powerful, transcendent experience. We also touch on the instructional side of bluegrass, with a nod to influential educators like Jim Panky and Marcel Ardans, who champion the communal and instructional spirit of this enduring genre. Finally, Mason sheds light on his personal life, celebrating his recent marriage and aspirations of settling back in Nashville, proving that the journey of a musician is as much about personal growth as it is about performance.

The Slanted Attic Experience – Episode 31: Book Club Series – The Old Man and the SeaWe're back with the second chapter of our Slanted Attic Book Club Series, and this time we're casting our nets deep into Ernest Hemingway's legendary novella, The Old Man and the Sea. Host Tyler is joined by Graham, Coleman, Luis, and Hunter for a wide-ranging, reflective, and occasionally hilarious roundtable on one of the most quietly powerful stories ever written.Meet the Panel:Graham – A Tobacco Road native and lifelong Duke fan, Graham sharpened his sports edge at Virginia Tech and now splits his weekends between Hokie football and Premier League mornings with Brighton & Hove Albion.Hunter – A VT grad who's bounced from North Carolina hemp fields to Colorado cannabis farms, Hunter is back in Richmond, focusing on his golf game and locking down his spot as the most unpredictable guest in podcasting.Coleman – Raised in Richmond, Coleman finds peace in the outdoors and live music—especially jam bands like Phish and Billy Strings. A loyal Hokie and long-suffering Blackhawks fan, he brings both insight and soul to every conversation.Luis – Born in Mexico, raised in California, and educated at VT, Luis is a true renaissance man. He's always building, always learning—whether it's in LA's creative scene or on a mountain weekend escape.In This Episode:We open with a full recap of Santiago's journey—the old fisherman who refuses to quit. Then, the conversation flows into the deeper waters of Hemingway's themes: perseverance, aging, pride, isolation, and how we define meaning in our personal battles.We talk about how the simplicity of the story carries such weight—and how it leaves so much open for interpretation. Was Santiago's journey a victory or a quiet loss? Does the sea represent freedom or punishment? And how does the marlin mirror our own quests for purpose?The group also compares The Old Man and the Sea to other works with similar tones—from survival stories to meditative fiction—and we share the takeaways that stuck with us most. Hunter talks connection to nature, Graham dives into symbolism, Luis explores philosophical undercurrents, and Coleman, of course, throws in a fishing story.We round things out with overall thoughts and our final ratings:Coleman: 8.75/10Graham: 8.3/10Hunter: 9.1/10Luis: 9/10Tyler: 9.2/10This episode is all about reflection—on literature, on life, and on what it means to go out into deep water with nothing but hope, skill, and determination.New episodes drop bi-weekly on Mondays at 10:30 AM EST—plus the occasional surprise release!linktr.ee/slantedattic

It took a long time after I first read David Menconi's work to finally meet him, and longer still to sit with him for an extended conversation, but fortunately, the time has finally come. And if the saying “good things come to those who wait” applies here, if I was indeed waiting years for that Tuesday afternoon interview in late September 2024, then it is doubly appropriate now that our conversation sees the light of day in this podcast nearly another half a year afterwards. Decades after first reading his work, more than a year after first meeting him, and another stretch of months after interviewing him, now is the moment for all of this to come together. It all feels a bit fortuitous, a feeling which is echoed in our conversation, especially regarding the subject of David Menconi's latest book. David Menconi was a staff writer at the Raleigh News & Observer for 28 years, beginning in 1991, when the music scene in the region was exploding nationwide. He has also written for Rolling Stone, Billboard, Spin and New York Times. His latest book is titled Oh, Didn't They Ramble: Rounder Records and the Transformation of American Roots Music. David Menconi spoke with me at the IBMA conference in his adopted hometown of Raleigh, North Carolina, in a conversation which touches on the remarkable story of Rounder Records, a music label whose story, as David put it, is the kismet story. A label formed by three idealistic folkies fresh out of college, it went on to champion the music of artists ranging from Alice Gerard to Alison Krauss, from the Blake Babies to Billy Strings, and from Ted Hawkins to Tony Rice. David talks about the Rounder Records story, the current state of the music industry, the challenges faced by writers and musicians alike, as well as the significant history of bluegrass music in the city of Raleigh and the state of North Carolina and more, including music excerpts from Rounder Records artists like Norman Blake and George Thorogood in this episode Southern Songs and Stories. David Menconi Songs heard in this episode:Tony Rice “Monroe's Hornpipe”, from The Bluegrass Album Band, Volume 6“Tango Cool“ by Ted Gioia & Mark Lewis, from Tango Cool, excerpt“Ginseng Sullivan” by Norman Blake, from Back Home In Sulphur Springs, excerpt“Move It On Over” by George Thorogood & the Destroyers, from Move It On Over, excerpt“Away From the Mire” by Billy Strings, from HomeThanks for being here!

When you imagine the tools of a guitar shredder, chances are you see a sharp-angled electric 6-string running into a smokin'-hot, fully saturated British halfstack of sorts—the type of thing that'll blow your hair back. You might not be picturing an acoustic steel-string or a banjo, and that's a mistake, because some of the most face-melting players to walk this earth work unplugged—like Molly Tuttle. The 31-year-old Californian has been performing live for roughly 20 years, following in a deep family tradition of roots-music players. Tuttle studied at Berklee College of Music, and has gone on to collaborate with some of the biggest names in bluegrass and folk, including Béla Fleck, Billy Strings, Buddy Miller, Sierra Hull, and Old Crow Medicine Show. Her 2023 record, City of Gold, won the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album. The furious flatpicking solo on “San Joaquin,” off of that Grammy-winning record, is the subject of this unplugged episode of Shred With Shifty. Shiflett can shred on electric alright, but how does he hold up running leads on acoustic? It's a whole different ballgame. Thankfully, Tuttle is on hand, equipped with a Pre-War Guitars Co. 6-string, to demystify the techniques and gear that let her tear up the fretboard. Tune in to hear plenty of insider knowledge on how to amplify and EQ acoustics, what instruments can stand in for percussion in bluegrass groups, and how to improvise in bluegrass music.

This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with musician and bandleader Andy Frasco. Frasco, celebrated for his good time spirit, is a tireless and consummate showman who plays some 250 concert dates a year with his band, Andy Frasco & The U.N., and has been doing so since he was 19. His band's sound has been described as "blues-rock fueled by reckless abandonment and a disregard for the rules, with witty lyrics to back it all up.” This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast is dedicated to Frasco's latest album, entitled Growing Pains. Produced by Frasco himself for the first time, Growing Pains acts as a tribute to his 15-year journey in music, and the group's landmark 10th studio album showcases his growth as songwriter and frontman. Growing Pains features assists from brilliant musicians such as Billy Strings, Eric Krasno, and G. Love, and it's a refreshingly introspective album full of self-flection and weighty, relatable themes, while still being a hell of a good time. In this episode hosts Michael Shields and Andy Frasco discuss the themes present in Growing Pains and what it meant to him to produce the album personally. They dig into Frasco's growth as a musician and songwriter, why he decided to record songs for Growing Pains in Nashville, his excellent World Saving Podcast, and so much more. Hosted on Acast.

Sierra Hull takes us on an evocative journey from her small-town roots in Tennessee to the grand stages of bluegrass music. With a passion for music ignited at just eight years old, her story is a heartfelt testament to the power of familial support and the welcoming embrace of the bluegrass community. Sierra shares intimate stories of how her parents cultivated her love for music, setting her on a path that was as much about family bonding as it was about honing her craft. Sierra provides an unfiltered look at her experiences navigating the music industry. Her insights reveal how she balances staying true to her artistic vision while facing the industry's challenges. We explore the dynamics of being a woman in a predominantly male genre and how role models like Alison Krauss and Rhonda Vincent shaped her ambitions. Sierra's anecdotes about collaborations with artists such as Billy Strings highlight the spontaneity and skill inherent in bluegrass music, offering listeners a glimpse of the exciting possibilities when musical minds meet. Our episode also delves into Sierra's foray into independent album production, with the release of her upcoming album 'A Tip Toe High Wire' due out March 7th, shedding light on the complexities and rewards of taking control of her creative journey. Her reflections on life transitions, from signing with a prestigious label to embracing independence, are enlightening for aspiring musicians.

In this episode of "Tales From The Green Room" Sam Grisman Project mainstays Max Flansburg and Chris English visit with hosts Dennis Strazulo and Tami Larson backstage at Terrapin Crossroads' Sunday Day Dream Vol. 4 in San Rafael, CA. Max Flansburg shares his experience of visiting California for the first time, his musical beginnings in the Finger Lakes region, and joins the roster of stellar guitar players marveling at the mystical encounters surrounding their playing of Jerry Garcia's iconic Alligator Stratocaster, with his own jaw-dropping story! Percussionist extraordinaire Chris English reflects on his rich musical background rooted in a family of pastors, delves into the background of the formation of SGP and describes the emotions of band leader Sam Grisman as he prepared to step in for the ailing Phil Lesh with the day's headliners moments after the interview.  Both guests describe the magic moment from the night before when Billy Strings joined the band during their show at the UC Theater in Berkeley along with long-time friend and cross-genre violinist, Alex Hargreaves -  adding an exciting twist to the backstage tales told by these fine musicians. It's a perfect warm up for anyone planning to catch SGP shows as they tour the country,  and a chance for listeners who have already heard this must-see band to learn more about two of its extraordinary members.

In the music business, the words “influence” and “inspiration” get thrown around a lot. Artist Y is “influenced” by artists A, B and C, or “inspired” by their love of genres D and E, often with no elaboration of what that really might mean. Influence and inspiration are often overused to the point of meaninglessness in these contexts, or perhaps misunderstood as something akin to emulation. It is an easy shortcut for folks reading or hearing those words to insert the phrase “sounds like” into the sentence when given no more substantial footing than those hackneyed terms. But in spending time with Lindsay Lou and hearing her perspective on bluegrass as a primary influence, this opened up another way to approach this, which was to think of “influence” and “inspiration” as something akin to a key opening a door, of being a catalyst for change and growth. The musical world heard in Lindsay Lou's fourth album Queen Of Time begins at a door which she unlocked over the years since first experiencing bluegrass jams as a kid. On this record, it is a world which welcomes bluegrass legends like Jerry Douglas, who makes a guest appearance, as well as first-call songwriter Jon Weisberger, plus maverick superstar Billy Strings. It is full of electric guitar and drums, adding synthesizers, organ and even djembe into the mix. Its lyrics and melodies flow from both a psychedelic experience with the sacred feminine, as well as her enduring bond with her extraordinary grandmother. It is a world where self-discovery incorporates but also supersedes tradition; it is a world where bluegrass is both there and is not there, all at once.

Stumbling upon a dusty mandolin in an antique store wasn't just a chance encounter for Ryan—it was the spark that ignited a passion for bluegrass music. Join us as we recount the fascinating journey of The Tuesday String Band, musicians who transitioned from the world of jazz music and outdoor rehearsals at Western Oregon University to the vibrant and inclusive community of bluegrass music. Embracing the soulful sounds of acoustic instruments, they found a new musical identity. Our discussion also shines a light on the communal spirit of bluegrass, a genre that defies the often elitist environments found in university jazz settings. Inspired by contemporary artists like Billy Strings, Gage, Mason, and Ryan explore how bluegrass seamlessly blends with other genres, giving rise to innovative sub-genres. They share their experiences and what it has been like for them building community, highlighting their weekly residency at Gilgamesh Brewing, where audience engagement, humor, and personal interaction became key to creating memorable performances. Finally, we reflect on the transformative power of music in personal growth and career fulfillment. In a world often driven by societal pressures and outdated notions of success, embracing music as a career path is both a bold and rewarding journey.

In an insightful discussion on the "Tales from the Green Room" podcast, Reed Mathis provides host Dennis Strazulo and listeners with a detailed preview of his upcoming podcast series “The Gifts of Improvising” which debuts January 29, 2024 on the Osiris Media Podcast Network. Reed opens the door to a new, profound exploration of the role and challenge of artists as they navigate improvising the music of their heroes and legends, analyzed in detail during discussions with fellow musicians throughout 12 introspective episodes. Reed delves into the dynamics of the jam band scene and the authenticity of spontaneous musical creation. Previously connected with iconic projects like Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey and Tea Leaf Green, and with artists including Steve Kimock, Billy Strings, and Bill Kreutzmann, Reed shares the conception and evolution of his podcast with refreshing candor and excitement - describing it not merely as an exploration of improvisation but as a spotlight on the reenactment versus innovation debate within music. Listen as Reed challenges the norm of merely quoting musical heroes and urges a portrayal of personal truth through music. The essence of his message is about fostering a space where musicians are encouraged to "play themselves," offering a raw reflection of their true, creative essence rather than adhering strictly to established templates.The soon to be released series features an impressive roster of musicians, each bringing their unique experiences and insights to light, including: Joe Russo, Marco Benevento, Steve Kimmock, Adam McDougald, and Jay Lane taking a deep dive into musical philosophies and personal anecdotes that reveal much about these beloved names in music.“The Gifts of Improvising” also includes a touching homage to Phil Lesh, featuring reflections from Natalie Cressman, Elliot Peck, and Grahame Lesh - a moving tribute to Lesh's indelible impact on both Mathis's own career and the broader music landscape. Enjoy this discussion as Reed muses about the art and joy of truly improvising in anticipation of his podcast release.Linkshttps://www.instagram.com/reedmathis/https://www.facebook.com/reed.mathis.5/http://www.youtube.com/@reedmathis4623https://www.osirispod.com/podcasts/ MusicLazyLightning55a YouTube Channel: Reed Mathis' Electric Beethoven - 10/26/16 - MP WilliamsburgPhoto by Stefanie Atkinson Schwartz
