Podcast appearances and mentions of Brittany Haas

Brittany Haas is widely regarded as one of the most influential fiddlers of her generation. In this wide-ranging conversation you'll be hearing about her early career, touring with Darol Anger at age 14, the bands Croooked Still, Hawktail and Punch Brothers with Chris Thile. She reflected on the challenges and thrill of a touring life, the Nashville scene, her teaching through Artistworks, and dynamics of being a woman in Bluegrass. We talked about mentors Bruce Molsky and Tony Trishka, her time at Princeton studying Evolutionary Biology, and the need for self-care and boundaries.  We are featuring music from several of her albums, including her recent projects with sister Natalie and the Swedish musician Lena Jonsson.  Like all my episodes, you can also watch this on my YouTube channel or listen to the podcast on all the podcast platforms, and I've also linked the transcript to my website: https://www.leahroseman.com/episodes/brittany-haas See below for other suggested episodes, linked for your convenience, along with links for newsletter and support pages!   Brittany Haas website Hawktail The Snake with Lena Jonsson Haas with sister Natalie Impromptu Sessions (banjo album) Brittany Haas debut album the Punch Brothers website (Energy Curfew Music hour podcast)  I'm sure that you'll enjoy my conversations  with Adam Hurt Janie Rothfield  Joe K.

My guest on the podcast this week is Brittany Haas, fiddle player with Hawktail and, now, Punch Brothers!I interviewed Gabe Witcher last June, a few days after he played his final shows with Punch Brothers at Telluride. Almost exactly a year later to the day I spoke with Brittany to chat about joining the band as his replacement. Brittany had just played with Punch Brothers at Telluride, so there was a lovely symmetry to it.We chatted about how Brittany got the gig, the challenges of replacing one of your favourite fiddle payers in a band you love, how knowing the rest of the band really helped with that process (both musically and socially), how her first shows with the band have been and what Punch Brothers 3.0 might look like.Brittany also has a brand new record of fiddle duets with Lena Jonsson, called The Snake, which you can stream in all the usual places as well as buy on BandcampHappy picking!Matt Support the Show.===- Sign up to get updates on new episodes - Free fiddle tune chord sheets- Here's a list of all the Bluegrass Jam Along interviews- Follow Bluegrass Jam Along for regular updates: Instagram Facebook - Review us on Apple Podcasts

Bluegrass banjo legend Tony Trischka joins us this week to discuss the making of his new album, 'Earl Jam.' He also gives us a mini-masterclass into the world of Earl Scruggs. The story behind 'Earl Jam' is truly remarkable: Upon receiving a USB drive full of never-before-released Earl Scruggs home recordings from the '80s and '90s, Trischka decided to transcribe his favorite moments and solos, note-for-note. His playing of these transcriptions became the foundation for the album, which also features guest spots by Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Brittany Haas, Stuart Duncan and others. It's like hearing a completely new Earl Scruggs record in 2024. Just as memorable as the album are some Trischka's stories about Scruggs and his influence. Somehow, King Curtis Ravi Shankar, Petticoat Junction, Steve Martin, and KFC all get mentioned...and a lot more!   https://www.tonytrischka.com/earl-jam A First Timer's Guide to the Fretboard Summit: https://www.fretboardjournal.com/columns/a-first-timers-guide-to-the-fretboard-summit/ Subscribe to the Fretboard Journal print edition and reserve your copy of Fretboard Journal 54:  https://shop.fretboardjournal.com/products/fretboard-journal-annual-subscription This week's show is sponsored by: StewMac: https://stewmac.sjv.io/R5jvRR (Affiliate link) Izotope: https://www.izotope.com (Use the code FRET10 to save 10%) Stringjoy Strings: https://stringjoy.com (Use the code FRETBOARD to save 10% off your first order) Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar: https://mmguitarbar.com Peghead Nation: https://www.pegheadnation.com (Get your first month free or $20 off any annual subscription with the promo code FRETBOARD at checkout).

My guest this week is singer songwriter Caitlin Canty.Caitlin joins me to chat about her new album Quiet Flame, produced by Chris Eldridge (of Punch Brothers and Mighty Poplar) and featuring a fantastic band, including Paul Kowert, Brittany Haas, Sarah Jarosz, Noam Pikelny and Andrew Marlin.We talk about working with those musicians, the fact that the record was about to be made when the pandemic struck, how the final record differs from the one it would have been if it had been recorded back in 2020 and so much more.It was a wonderful conversation full of insight and laughter.

It's not often a person gets to experience euphoria. For years I imagined alcohol could do the job if I could just find the right brand but eventually I gave up on that. Sometimes in church I've felt it. When I was 11 I got to go to the top of the Empire State Building. I sang the Dead's “Attics of My Life” once with two women and got a little high from it. And one night before the Philharmonic I experienced it at the Bowery Ballroom on Delancey Street listening to Aoife O'Donovan and Hawktail and the phenom fiddler Brittany Haas and it made the big crowd go wild to see artists overcome gravity and simply float.Aoife and Messiaen, two transcendent tours on successive nights: it makes living in Manhattan worth the trouble and expense. You can eat expensive mediocre food in loud restaurants, almost get run over by e-scooters, deal with surly salesclerks, cabs stuck in dense traffic, extortionate rents, impenetrable bureaucracy, but the museums and trains and tulips in spring and the occasional transcendental experiences make up for it. Two nights of mind-blown beauty make me want to start my career all over again.Garrison Keillor Jason Keillor, Engineer Jason Keillor, Original Music This is a public episode.

Urgency and patience are the two poles of New England songwriter Caitlin Canty's magnetism. Her music invites you to quiet moments of reflection with unhurried confidence. When I first heard her song “Get Up” in 2015 I felt like I was receiving a very important magical message. Canty's subsequent releases have further revealed her uncanny talents for grooving at the right tempo, describing the memorable image, leaning into elegant arrangements, and letting delicate moods hang in the air.Canty's new album, ‘Quiet Flame,' was recorded live with a string band and no drums. Live tracking has become her signature over the years, and this new record shows the authentic and powerful moments that can only be created in that setting. Produced by Chris Eldridge of the Punch Brothers and featuring collaborators like Sarah Jarosz, Brittany Haas, and Paul Kowert, ‘Quiet Flame' is not only a showcase for Canty's unmistakable voice and songwriting, but also a celebration of her impressive artistic community.Caitlin knows a thing or two about teamwork after many years of team sports. She was a soccer player and heptathlete through her college years, and I have a hunch that her athlete-brain and her musician-brain share a particular wisdom. Pacing, collaboration, focus, and graceful movement characterize her unique body of work. It was a true delight to talk about writing, friendship, family, touring, humility, and self-belief with this gem of a musician.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/ Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknews Help produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Fiddler Brittany Haas has an impressive resume: she started touring at 14 with Darol Anger, recorded her debut album at 17, started performing with Crooked Still before she finished college and has played on Chris Thile's radio program Live From Here and done stints in David Rawlings and Gillian Welch's David Rawlings Machine. Currently, she's teaching workshops and classes in between working with her band Hawktail along with Paul Kowert, Jordan Tice and Dominick Leslie. Their latest album, Place of Growth, is a song cycle in appreciation to the natural elements, which have always intrigued Brittany.She's a trailblazer in fiddling and also has an acute awareness of burnout. The past few years have seen her pursuing and obtaining a masters in social work and teaching classes at East Tennessee State University as their artist-in-residence. Our conversation includes a discussion of balance and awareness when it comes to keeping her music joyful. And then there's science: she has a degree in Evolutionary Biology at Princeton University. Also, Hawktail's latest album is a journey through the natural world. We talk about the band giving each other the space to be themselves on the record. Brittany is chill, brilliant and generous. Enjoy and then go listen to Hawktail's new record all in one sitting.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Lauren Rioux is enthusiastically sought out for her teaching expertise, leading classes and workshops across the globe. Her online string resource site, JamWithLauren.com provides students the world over with access to her innovative curriculum, gorgeous learning materials,  inspiring and motivating blog, but most importantly- her inimitable teaching style. Lauren helps musicians (mostly string players) unlock their inner voice and achieve their potential while understanding and appreciating that the work of becoming a musician is honest and rewarding. Lauren believes that everyone has the ability to create a sound they love, experience the joy that their sound produces, and express what they're unable to articulate with words. As a performer, Lauren has toured the United States, Europe and the UK with Darol Anger and his Republic of Strings, as a duo with Brittany Haas, with Scott Nygaard and Crow Molly, and with her husband Sten Havumaki. “Lauren has a deep intuitive understanding of people and their musical journeys; and therefore has a lot to offer in terms of guidance as well as a real knack for explaining the nitty-gritty details of string playing and music theory. She plays with thoughtful purpose, stringing together notes and ideas in order to effect a feeling in her listeners, uniting musicians and audience for a communal experience of joy. ”— Brittany HaasJamWithLaurenYouTubeInstagram

Episode 211: Not many instrumentalists have invented and spread a new technique, but Darol Anger has, and now the percussive bow and string practice called "the chop" is almost mandatory for rising bluegrass and even some classical players. This happened over a 40+ year career that's seen Anger contribute to the historic David Grisman Quintet, co-found the Turtle Island String Quartet, pursue a long-running duo with Mike Marshall and now lead a youthful quartet called Mr. Sun, which has a new album. Anger's influence is huge as a composer, player and teacher, and it was a treat to speak with him at his home in Nashville, where he's moved for the first time in his life. It puts him near many of his former students and proteges, including fiddle star Brittany Haas. I catch up with her for this look at Darol's career.

Además de miembro de los Heartbreakers y colaborador de Fleetwood Mac, Mike Campbell ha estado tocando desde hace 15 años en un cuarteto llamado los Dirty Knobs, con un toque que recordaba a Mudcrutch. “Irish Girl” es uno de los 13 cortes que conforman su álbum de debut Wreckless Abandon, que quedó en el limbo con la llegada de la pandemia Es un tema lleno de poesía del propio Mike Campbell inspirado por haber estado conduciendo a altas horas de la madrugada de regreso a su casa escuchando a Van Morrison en la radio. Al llegar al hogar escribió el tema. Durante la pandemia, los Avett Brothets anunciaban la edición de The Third Gleam, con los hermanos Scott y Seth Avett junto al bajista Bob Crawford regresando a los primeros tiempos de la formación. A lo largo del proyecto escriben sobre el prejuicio histórico, la fe, la disparidad económica, la violencia con las armas de fuego, el encarcelamiento, la redención y la mortalidad. Todo ello arropado por una casi espartana sencillez instrumental. “Victory” es uno de los momentos mágicos de esa publicación de ocho canciones. Es una forma perfecta de compartir el arte en lo que parece ser una noche relativamente larga y oscura. El pasado martes supimos sobre los premios de la Americana Music Association, que suele ser el momento cumbre de su anual AmericanaFest, que reparte actuaciones y eventos por Nashville durante una semana y que debido a la pandemia fueron cancelados. Nacida en Nashville, Brittany Haas es la nueva Instrumentista del Año para la AMA. En TOMA UNO la conocimos formando parte de una banda de bluegrass como Crooked Still, donde coincidió con Aoife O'Donovan, actualmente en I'm with Her. Aquel grupo de Boston se dio un respiro y a partir de 2018, Brittany Haas es miembro de Hawktail. El último trabajo del cuarteto es Formations, donde está incluida “Annbjørg”, inspirada en una de sus héroes del violín, Annbjørg Lien. John Prine fue elegido Artista del Año. Desgraciadamente, el artista murió el 7 de abril con 73 años. Con Brandi Carlile en los coros vocales, “Boudless Love”, compuesto por John Prine junto a Pat McLaughlin y Dan Auerbach, fue otro de esos regalos tan maravillosos como inesperados que repartió a lo largo de sus muchos años de magisterio. Se convirtió en el último álbum de un artista que regresaba con un disco de temas nuevos tras 13 años sin hacerlo. Con el productor Dave Cobb supervisando las sesiones, The Tree of Forgiveness parece grabado en una reunión informal a la luz de una fogata nocturna, sin nada impostado, convirtiendo la veteranía de su protagonista es un activo más que en un inconveniente. El vocalista Eric Burton, que siempre nos recuerda a Steve Winwood, y el guitarrista Adrian Quesada formaron Black Pumas hace tres años y en el pasado 2019 publicaron su disco de debut con el nombre del dúo como título, siendo nominados al Grammy como Mejor Nuevo Artista. Quesada había formado parte del Grupo Fantasma, una banda de toques latinos. Se encontraron en Austin, Texas, y decidieron aunar fuerzas como Black Pumas y moverse en el terreno de la Americana, sin olvidar su respeto por los sonidos de Curtis Mayfield y el soul de los 70 y 80. "Confines" es una de las canciones que han convencido a la Americana Music Association para premiarlos como Artistas Emergentes del año. The Highwomen han sido las grandes triunfadoras de la última edición de los premios de la Americana Music Association. La última sensación femenina en forma de supergrupo reunió en formato de cuarteto a Brandi Carlile, Maren Morris, Natalie Hemby y Amanda Shires, que fue la que tuvo la idea inicial como respuesta a la falta de mujeres sonando en las emisoras de radio. El nombre tiene que ver con The Highwayman, el supergrupo formado en los 80 por Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings y Kris Kristofferson. “Redesigning Women” fue el single de anticipo de su álbum de debut que produjo Dave Cobb La canción, compuesta por Natalie Hemby y Rodney Clawson, trata sobre la maternidad, las luchas profesionales, las expectativas sociales y los distintos roles que desempeñan las mujeres diariamente. Su disco homónimo también fue premiado como Álbum del Año y su tema “Crowded Table”, una canción que Natalie Hemby y Brandi Carlile compusieron con Lori McKenna y que se convirtió en un himno que desde que la estrenaron en el último Newport Folk Festival en el que participaron. La nueva canción de Michaela Anne, con un vídeo especialmente divertido y un título que lo explica todo, “If I Wanted Your Opinion”, formó parte del último álbum de la artista de Brooklyn, que creció a saltos entre Washington, California, Virginia, Michigan e incluso Italia. Ha sido esa personalidad errante la que definió las características de ese trabajo, Desert Dove, en el que reflexiona sobre la soledad, el amor, la conexión entre las personas y, por supuesto, la carretera. Ese un álbum, que no ha tenido continuación lógica debido a la pandemia, se ha convertido en vital para su progresión, contando con el apoyo de Sam Outlaw y Kelly Winrich de Delta Spirit, con quienes se marcho hasta San Clemente, en California, para completar una colección exuberante de sueños musicales, con el cielo como límite. Kacy & Clayton, que pasaron por España el pasado año, y Marlon Williams han encontrado en el álbum Plastic Bouquet, que publicarán a mediados de diciembre, la mejor manera de compartir su cariño por la tradición musical, aunque Saskatchewan, en Canadá, y Christchurch, en Nueva Zelanda, no están precisamente cerca. La química es evidente en temas como "I Wonder Why". Firefall fue una excelente banda de folk rock en la segunda mitad de los 70 y primeros 80. Sus miembros habían tenido experiencias en distintas formaciones anteriores, pero sería su encuentro en la banda de acompañamiento de Chris Hillman tras su debut en solitario con Slippin’ Away cuando se gestó el proyecto. Apareció Rick Roberts desde los Flying Burrito Brothers y se sumaron Jock Bartley, Mark Andes, Larry Burnett, David Muse y Michael Clarke, el ex batería de los Byrds. Así nació Firefall, que todavía sigue en activo como demuestra la publicación de su último trabajo de estudio, Comet, un soplo de aire fresco con mucho de emotiva mirada por el retrovisor como ocurre en “Way Back When”, que recuerda aquellos convulsos tiempos de los 60. The Wild Feathers utilizaron estos tiempos de confinamiento para poner al día sus archivos y recopilar canciones que ahora han completado Medium Rarities En el álbum encontramos maquetas, caras B y algunas curiosas versiones inéditas como "Blue" de los Jayhawks, "Almost Cut My Hair" de Crosby Stills, Nash & Young y "Guitar Man" de Bread, cuyo líder, David Gates, se hizo octogenario hace unos días. Ese nativo de Tulsa, en Oklahoma, empezó tocando junto a Leon Russell en los bares de la zona hasta que se marchó a California, formando Bread en Los Angeles y pasando a ser uno de los mejores ejemplos del llamado soft rock de los 70. “Guitar Man” fue el tema central de su quinto álbum. Calexico han regresado justo a tiempo para la Navidad y su nuevo álbum tiene que ver con esta etapa. Se trata de Seasonal Shift, convertido fundamentalmente en una celebración intercultural focalizada en los recuerdos. En el trabajo, Joey Burns y John Convertino han incluido un par de versiones de Tom Petty e incluso John y Yono, además de tener invitados de muy distintos puntos geográficos, lo que lleva a abarcar desde el fado portugués a las canciones populares mexicanas. “Hear The Bells” es una historia que podría tener distintos significados y que esta vez se ha centrado en las tradicionales de estas fechas que se mantienen en Tucson, Arizona, donde la pareja tiene su base de operaciones. Cada año, en la fecha más cercana a la Navidad hay una canción que siempre suena en el tiempo de TOMA UNO para transmitir los mejores deseos de cara a estas fiestas. Los más veteranos oyentes saben que se trata de “Colorado Christmas”, el maravilloso regalo navideño que compuso Steve Goodman y nos transmitieron desde 1987 la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. El grupo ha grabado en más ocasiones la canción, pero esta fue la primitiva versión, en la que contaron con Emmylou Harris en los coros. Con ella queremos expresaros el enorme cariño y respeto que sentimos por cada uno de vosotros, desearos lo mejor para terminar de una vez con este extraño 2020 y confiar en que el próximo año todo sea infinitamente mejor y, además, nos veamos en los conciertos. ¡Feliz Navidad!

HAWKTAIL is the instrumental acoustic quartet of fiddler Brittany Haas, bassist Paul Kowert, guitarist Jordan Tice, and mandolinist Dominick Leslie. Though at first glance it looks like an acoustic superpicker side-project, their all-original music is cohesive and unique, distinguishing them as an ensemble with a sound built from the ground up. Each member of Hawktail brings a strong individuality to the project. Haas, whose 2004 self-titled release instantly became the touchstone for a generation of old-time fiddlers, has since lent her sound to Crooked Still, Live From Here, Steve Martin, and David Rawlings, where she played alongside Kowert, well known as the Grammy-winning Punch Brothers’ virtuosic bass player. Tice is a rare guitar player whose music showcases his unique identity and a particular knack for song and tune-writing, and Leslie is a versatile mandolinist whose rhythmic sensibility has made him ubiquitous on the acoustic music scene for over a decade. Their monstrous compositional and instrumental forces are on full display on their much-anticipated sophomore album, ‘Formations.’ APPALACHIAN ROAD SHOW is a visionary acoustic ensemble, bringing new-generation interpretations of traditional Americana, bluegrass and folk songs, as well as offering innovative original music, all presented with a common thread tied directly to the heart of the Appalachian regions of the United States. GRAMMY-nominated banjoist Barry Abernathy, joins forces with GRAMMY-winning fiddler Jim VanCleve, fresh off of his recent stint touring with multi-platinum country artist Josh Turner, as well as esteemed vocalist and mandolinist Darrell Webb, who has recorded and toured with Dolly Parton and Rhonda Vincent, among many others. The group also includes bassist Todd Phillips, an acknowledged legend in bluegrass music circles, with two GRAMMY wins and four GRAMMY nominations under his belt, along with 23-year-old “old soul” guitarist Zeb Snyder, whose fierce and versatile playing recalls Doc Watson and Norman Blake as readily as it does Duane Allman and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Appalachian Roadshow released its debut album last year, and the band is back in the studio working on its second offering due out early 2020. WoodSongs Kid: Beth Davis is sixteen-year-old fiddler and vocalist from Carbondale, Illinois.

Ozark Highlands Radio is a weekly radio program that features live music and interviews recorded at Ozark Folk Center State Park’s beautiful 1,000-seat auditorium in Mountain View, Arkansas. In addition to the music, our “Feature Host” segments take listeners through the Ozark hills with historians, authors, and personalities who explore the people, stories, and history of the Ozark region. This week, celebrated Scottish & Oldtime acoustic music explorers Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with this dynamic musical duo. Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark original Roger Fountain performing the traditional fiddle tune “Bill Cheatham.” Writer, professor, and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins profiles the curious history of Dogpatch USA, a unique theme park in the Ozarks for 25 years. The musical partnership between consummate performer Alasdair Fraser, "the Michael Jordan of Scottish fiddling", and brilliant Californian cellist Natalie Haas spans the full spectrum between intimate chamber music and ecstatic dance energy. Over the last 18 years of creating a buzz at festivals and concert halls across the world, they have truly set the standard for fiddle and cello in traditional music. They continue to thrill audiences internationally with their virtuosic playing, their near-telepathic understanding and the joyful spontaneity and sheer physical presence of their music. Fraser has a concert and recording career spanning over 30 years, with a long list of awards, accolades, radio and television credits, and feature performances on top movie soundtracks (Last of the Mohicans, Titanic, etc.). In 2011, he was inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame. Haas, a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, is one of the most sought after cellists in traditional music today. She has performed and recorded with a who's who of the fiddle world including Mark O'Connor, Natalie MacMaster, Irish supergroups Solas and Altan, Liz Carroll, Dirk Powell, Brittany Haas, Darol Anger, Jeremy Kittel, Hanneke Cassel, Laura Cortese, and many more. This seemingly unlikely pairing of fiddle and cello is the fulfillment of a long-standing musical dream for Fraser. His search eventually led him to find a cellist who could help return the cello to its historical role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish dance music, where it stood for hundreds of years before being relegated to the orchestra. The duo's debut recording, Fire & Grace, won the coveted the Scots Trad Music "Album of the Year" award, the Scottish equivalent of a Grammy. Since its release, the two have gone on to record four more critically acclaimed albums that blend a profound understanding of the Scottish tradition with cutting-edge string explorations. In additional to performing, they both have motivated generations of string players through their teaching at fiddle camps across the globe. https://alasdairandnatalie.com/bio In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark original Roger Fountain performing the traditional fiddle tune “Bill Cheatham,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. From his series entitled “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor, and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins profiles the curious history of Dogpatch USA, a unique theme park in the Ozarks for 25 years. The second of a three part series, this episode chronicles the development of an Ozark theme park based on the famous cartoon “Li’l Abner,” created by cartoonist Al Capp.

In the first half of this week's Snacky Tunes, Greg and Darin catch up with Tracy Jane Young and Josh Grinker, the creative forces behind Kings County Imperial, a reinterpreted Central Chinese restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Rather than striving strictly for "authenticity," the menu is all about making an emotional connection between the food on the plate and the people who made it. After the break, we have musical guest Michael Daves, whose two-album set Orchids and Violence is out now on Nonesuch Records. Both discs of Orchids and Violence are produced by Daves and have identical track listings of mostly traditional bluegrass songs. The first features straightforward interpretations of them and was recorded live to tape in a 19th-century church by Daves and a band of roots-music innovators: bassist Mike Bub, violinist Brittany Haas, mandolinist Sarah Jarosz, and Punch Brothers banjo player Noam Pikelny. The second disc was recorded in Daves's home studio and includes bass, drums, and electric guitar, mostly played by Daves, and takes a raw, experimental rock approach to the same old-time material. Both discs were mixed by Vance Powell (Jack White, Kings of Leon, Danger Mouse) and have a special guest appearance from Tony Trischka on cello banjo, and Daves's wife Jessi Carter played bass on the electric disc.
