The Minneapolis trio Barbaro grows out of the American bluegrass tradition, but the key words there might be “out of”, as Barbaro doesn't race through banjo breakdowns and flashy fiddle solos, although they can do those things. The band is something of progressive version of bluegrass – using traditional instrumentation like fiddle and banjo, but drawing inspiration from electronic music and writing songs that may sound pastoral and folky but which often carry a bit of a bite. Barbaro plays new songs from their rootsy chamber music album, About The Winter, and chats about horse racing, in-studio. Set list: "Subtle Hints", "Gardens", "All My Friends"

This week we welcome The Baker Family and Jason Coleman! From Birch Tree, Missouri, the Baker Family has become one of the most talked- about family musical ensembles in the country. They tour nationwide, performing around 100 concerts each year, and they have produced multiple CDs. The Baker Family is a past winner of the Entertainer of the Year award given by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America-Midwest. The band also received the Album of the Year honor from that same organization. In 2016, the Baker Family won the Youth in Bluegrass band competition at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. This competition is the premier showcase in the world for bluegrass musicians under the age of 21 and their parents. That same year, the group was named Bluegrass Band of the Year by the International Country Gospel Music Association. The family appeared on season 12 of the NBC television program America’s Got
Talent. Producers of that program invited the group to audition for the program
after seeing a YouTube video of their award-winning performance at the 2016 Youth in Bluegrass band competition. The group has also performed on the RFD-TV program The Bluegrass Trail. The Baker Family has also won the Oklahoma Bluegrass Band championship four times, and they won the Pickin’ In The Pines band championship in Arizona in 2013. The band includes mom Carrie Baker, who plays guitar and upright bass. Three of her four children are also in the musical group. Twenty one-year-old Trustin Baker plays fiddle and banjo, and he also sings lead and harmony vocals. He is a past winner of the Grand Master Fiddle Championship at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tennessee. This award is the most prestigious honor given to a fiddle player. He has also won more than a dozen other fiddle competitions in five states. Carina Baker, 18, plays mandolin and sings lead and harmony vocals for the family band. She is a past winner of the Mandolin Player of the Year award and the Female Vocalist of the Year award from SPBGMA-Midwest. Sixteen-year-old Elijah Baker plays bass and lead guitar, and he sings both lead and harmony vocals for the group. He is a past winner of the Oklahoma State Junior Fiddle Championship. Both Carina and Elijah have also competed and won other honors for their musicianship at festivals and contests across the country.

Jason Coleman From a young age, it was evident that Jason had inherited his grandfather’s “slip note” touch at the piano, as it managed to “slip” its way into even the most elementary songs from his early piano lessons. Jason’s keen ability to play music by ear led to a childhood spent arranging his own renditions of the songs he loved, just as his “Grandad” did throughout his career. In addition to sharing the piano bench at home, Jason grew up performing with Floyd at his concerts and on national TV, and though he was only 12 years old when Floyd passed away, the close relationship they shared formed the foundation upon which Jason has built his own career in music. Jason made his Grand Ole Opry debut at age 17, and two years later, he was given the honor of playing for the Medallion Ceremony recognizing Floyd’s induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Since then, he has spent his career in the studio and on stage, producing a collection of his own piano albums and touring across the country in concerts that pay tribute to his grandfather’s enduring legacy and signature piano style. A Nashville native, Jason makes his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee, with his wife, Natalie, and their son, Avery Cramer.

WISCONSIN MUSIC PODCAST Episode 25 The MilBillies ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When The MilBillies set out to record their debut album, their goal was to capture the energy and drive of the stage performances that have made them a mainstay of the music scene in and around Milwaukee. The plan was simple. The string band’s five members worked with sound engineers at Milwaukee’s Silver City Studios to record the tracks “live,” setting microphones up in a circle to capture the natural sound of the bass, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and dobro. The vocals were saved until the end. Otherwise, overdubs and re-takes were kept to a minimum. Rather than a slick studio artifact, the band sought to produce the sort of experience that can be had only when musicians are responding to each other in the moment, picking up on small cues and allowing their music to flow naturally. The results, evident on every track of this recording, more than justify the approach. The band members went so far toward capturing their essence that they decided to go with the simplest title possible: The MilBillies. With this stripped-down recording, fans who might not have seen the band live can now have essentially the same experience anywhere they want. But The MilBillies’ ambitions did not stop there. Besides reproducing the feel of a live show, the band wanted to draw further attention to its original songwriting, which has already led to a Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) nomination in 2020 for New Artist of the Year. Influenced as much by pop and classic rock as bluegrass, The MilBillies’ tunes feature hooks with universal appeal.   The album’s 12 original tracks range from driving breakdowns to bluesy groovers to simple love songs. Their lyrics often pay homage to the city The MilBillies are proud to call home. Snippets of Milwaukee history receive a nod in the tracks “Ol’ Fred” and “Goodland,” while “Hoods” alludes to three local neighborhoods – and the difficulties of finding romance in each. Others, such as “Wild Turkey” and “High Class Low Life,” revel in the good times and raucous atmosphere that are a hallmark of the band’s shows. Equally noteworthy is the album’s artwork. For this, The MilBillies worked with the contemporary installation artist Jennifer Angus, a professor at UW-Madison, to find an ideal setting for the cover photo. The search took The MilBillies all the way to the Mattress Factory Museum in Pittsburgh, where they found the perfect complement to their music: An exhibit meant to be experienced in-person to accompany a record offering so much of the essence of live performance. With COVID-19 having shut down most musical venues, The MilBillies’ debut album could hardly come at a better time. Listeners will not only be able to hit play on a recording reproducing the intensity of on-stage shows; they’ll also have a chance to delve into well-written songs that reward repeat listens with clever lyrics, solid musicianship and tuneful hooks that – once heard – will remain with them well into the future.   For more information about The MilBillies and their debut album, please write to milbillies1@gmail.com or call Joe Wais at (630) 967-8996.  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.WisconsinMusicPodcast.com/podcast Sponsored by: Diamond Dave Photography  www.facebook.com/DiamondDavePhotography   ZTF Studio www.ZTFstudio.com   Podcast Song written by Nate Wycoff and has a recording studio at https://www.frequencyfarmrecordingstudio.com/   Voice Over Intro by Dean Bundy   Syndicated on www.cwHipHop.com with Jacob Haimer ------------------------------------------------------------ #WisconsinMusicPodcast #WisconsinMusic #WisconsinMusician #ZTFStudio #podcasting #podcastlife #podcasters #bhfyp #PodernFamily #Supportlocalmusic #Supportlocalmusicians #Milwaukee #bluegrass #bluegrass #milwaukeebluegrass #stringband #supportlocalsmusic #countrymusic #banjo #bluegrassmusic #mandolin #fiddle #americana #folkmusic #fingerpicking #violin #acousticguitar #milwaukeemusic #podernfamily #bhfyp

Borne of the back woods of Appalachia, bluegrass became a distinct musical style when Bill Monroe combined elements of traditional Scottish, Welsh, Irish and English music with a uniquely American influence and took his show on the road for a career that spanned 60 years. Monroe played this style of music he'd largely invented until the time of his death in 1996. But there are other towering figures in the genre who are still performing in 2013 - currently an octogenarian, Ralph Stanley won a Grammy for his version of "O Death" from the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack in 2002 and is still going strong. Younger generations of musicians have followed in Monroe and Stanley's footsteps - sometimes expanding bluegrass and sometimes sticking close to the traditionalist style. Los Angeles' Rocky Neck Bluegrass Band is a new ensemble that falls more into the latter camp of tried and true bluegrass instrumentation, but also pushes its boundaries just a little by reworking some classic rock songs to fit into a more conventional bluegrass framework. The results bring a fresh kind of familiarity to new fans that might not know standards like "Pretty Polly" but do know Neil Young songs. Rocky Neck Bluegrass Band has one EP available, a full performance schedule and they took first place in the California Bluegrass Association's "Great 48 Showcase Showdown" in 2012.

Last week I checked out a local steam punk bar and bubbling hot spot called The Way Station. I sat down with owner Anders Heidel as well as the members of Chicken Barn Heroes before their bi-weekly set.

The Not Too Bad Bluegrass Band performs at the Library of Congress. Speaker Biography: The Not Too Bad Bluegrass Band formed in 1987, playing local venues around Bloomington, Indiana. Original members included Jeff White, who went on to play with superstars like Alison Krauss and Vince Gill; singer-songwriter Bob Lucas; and Lisa Germano, who later played fiddle with John Mellencamp's band. The current members have their own musical history. Brian Lappin played with bluegrass legends Jimmy Martin and Earl Taylor, and the bands The Ragin' Texans and The Crawdads. His tasteful banjo playing reflects the solid influences of Earle Scruggs and J.D. Crowe. Doug Harden has played mandolin since 1969. His early years were spent at the old Bean Blossom Jamboree barn, and in the Brown County Band. Doug has also spent time in the original Kentucky Ramblers and the band Pine Mountain. Greg Norman started at a local jam session and later joined the Off the Line bluegrass band and singer-songwriter Janne Henshaw's band. Kent Todd was trained in classical violin, and was steered toward bluegrass by his father Scott, also a bluegrass musician; he has played with Bill Grant and Dehila Belle, Michael Cleveland and the Blue Hollow Band, Gary Brewer and the Kentucky Ramblers, and currently is also a member of the Troubled Waters Band. The youngest member of the NTBBB, Brady Stogdill, is a member of the original International Bluegrass Music Association's Young Acoustic All Stars; his father Dean was a great banjo player, and he has learned to play almost anything with strings on it.

Cowboy." Peter will be backed by his veteran touring Bluegrass Band featuring Jody Stecher, Keith Little, and Paul Knight. The Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band have just released their debut recording on Compass Records called "Legacy." Raymond McLain has been active in bluegrass for more than 20 years. He started out with his father and sisters in Kentucky's legendary McLain Family Band. In 1989 he joined one of the premiere bluegrass outfits in the country: Jim & Jesse & the Virginia Boys.
