Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Eldridge

My guest this week is Bob Minner and we're celebrating one of the most iconic flatpicking records of all time - Norman Blake's 'Whiskey Before Breakfast'.We chat about Bob first hearing this record and why he loves it so much; its place in the flatpicking repertoire; the gear Norman used (including guitars, picks and even string gauges!) and we go through the record track by track.Not only that, Bob phoned Norman before we did the interview specifically to ask him about the songs and tunes he picked for the record and where he first heard them.Whether you're new to this record or you know it inside out, I hope you'll learn something from our conversation. I certainly did!Bob mentions a video he made with Bryan Sutton, Chris Eldridge and Kenny Smith, about the D18 that appears on the album cover - you'll find it on the Fretboard Journal's YouTube channelAlso, check out Bob's wonderful tribute album to Norman, 'From Sulphur Springs to Rising Fawn'.It's always a joy chatting to Bob. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.MattSend a message to Bluegrass Jam Along! (Don't forget to include your name so I know who you are!)

My guest on the podcast this week is Chris Eldridge, guitarist with Punch Brothers and Mighty Poplar.Chris is not only one of my favourite guitarists, he's also one of my favourite people I've had on as a guest, so I'm delighted to welcome him back to Bluegrass Jam Along to celebrate the podcast's 400th episode.In this special episode we're chatting about Bela Fleck's ground breaking record Drive. It's a record that's really important to Chris, and also played a key role in the early days of both The Infamous Stringdusters and Punch Brothers.Chris talks about first hearing the record, why it grabbed his attention so much and why it holds a key place in not only Bela's output, but also in the rich tradition of progressive, instrumental string band music. We also talk about the remarkable contributions made by the players Bela assembled for this record, including Sam Bush, Mark Schatz, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, Mark O'Connor and, of course, Tony Rice.It was a fascinating conversation to get to have. Drive is one of my favourite records and I know it's a favourite of so many bluegrass fans and players too.Thanks Chris and here's to the next 400 episodes!Happy 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

Today - June 8th - is Tony Rice's birthday. To celebrate, I'm reposting the chat I had with Alison Krauss as part of the 'Church Street Blues' 40th anniversary celebrations last year. The final episodes ended up being almost 5 hours long, so I thought it would be fun to re-post this as a standalone episode for those who missed it (or just want to listen again to celebrate Tony's birthday).In this episode Alison talks about what Tony's music means to her and shares some memories of spending time one on one with Tony.It was a wonderful conversation to get to have and I hope you enjoy it.If you missed the Church Street Blues episodes,  featuring Wyatt Rice, Bryan Sutton, Chris Eldridge and many more, you can listen here:Part 1  Part 2Matt 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

This episode is about the idea of a special price point threshold in each product category above which one can expect substantial performance improvement compared to below the threshold. As usual, it's not as simple a topic as it seems. The recommended album of the week is the eponymous debut from a brand new, hotshot-laden folk and bluegrass troupe assembled by the always impressive Chris Eldridge.  This podcast is powered by CommonGround Cables.

Mandolinist John Reischman joins me on the show this week. I've actually known John for many years, as he moved to Vancouver in the 90's and when I was starting to do more acoustic music, our paths would cross at festivals and I'd also bring him in for various projects and sessions. John is an absolute master of his instrument with a unique touch and tone that is truly remarkable. He grew up in California and came up in the Bay Area music scene, where he joined The Good Ol' Persons, which was up until then an all-female bluegrass band that featured Kathy Kallick and Sally Van Meter. After touring and recording with them for a couple of years, John scored a gig in the groundbreaking Tony Rice Unit, one of the ultimate ensembles in modern bluegrass and acoustic music. John toured and recorded with Tony for a few years and developed an incredible style that owes almost as much to jazz horn and piano players as well as different kinds of world music as it does to traditional bluegrass, although John certainly can stand up with the best in the world in any traditional setting. The Tony Rice albums Backwaters and Devlin feature this lineup with John's amazing playing. After leaving Tony Rice, John moved to Vancouver, where he formed the Jaybirds, a group he has been performing with now for over 20 years. John also made a solo record during the pandemic called “New Time and Old Acoustic” which features guest appearances by Molly Tuttle, Chris Eldridge, Todd Phillips and many more. It was great to re-connect with John, and get a chance to talk about meeting and playing with Bill Monroe, his coveted mandolin, and his history recording and touring in the world of bluegrass and acoustic music. You can get all the latest info and tour dates for John and the Jaybirds at johnreischman.comIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting the show with a donation or Patreon subscriptionThe show's website can be found at www.makersandshakerspodcast.comYour fearless host, Steve Dawson can be found at www.stevedawson.ca Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/mmasspodcast.

Julian Lage is truly a guitarist like no other. He's insanely creative, prolific, has unbelievable technical facility, but also plays with incredible taste, tone and restraint. He grew up around the bay area of California and was a child prodigy who started getting noticed when he was just a little tyke. There's even a movie about him from that time called “Jules At Eight” (when he was eight!), and he played at the Grammys when he was 12, which is where Gary Burton, the incredible vibraphone player heard him, and asked him to join his band. Julian played with Burton for the better part of a decade, but also spent time playing and collaborating with John Zorn, Nels Cline, Dave Douglas, Charles Lloyd, as well as David Grisman and Chris Eldridge from over in the bluegrass world. He's been releasing solo albums since 2009, and over the last year released a full-length album that is absolutley spectacular called “View With A Room”, and then some songs that were essentially out-takes from that album but took on a life of their own came out more recently, and that's a beautiful new EP called “The Layers”. He has this incredible trio now that I think is one of the great American ensembles - Jorge Roeder is an incredible bassist and Dave King is the drummer, who some will know from the Bad Plus. Julian is an incredible talent, and very thoughtful human and musician and we had a great conversation about all these aspects of his career, nerded out on guitars, and got deep into music!

One of the most ambitious string bands to emerge in the early 21st century, Punch Brothers built their sound on a platform of virtuosic instrumentalism and dazzling arrangements. The GRAMMY Award-winning band consisting of Chris Thile, Chris Eldridge, Paul Kowert, Noam Pikelny, and Gabe Withcer, has spent more than a decade changing the face of acoustic music, stretching the limitations of instruments, and influencing a generation of young musicians. Formed in the late 2000s, Punch Brothers' amalgam of bluegrass energy, classical complexity, and jazzy improvisation have earned them numerous accolades and garnered a dedicated following. Staples of the label, all but one of the band's albums have topped the Billboard Bluegrass charts while also making strong crossover showings on the pop, rock, and folk charts. This episode features recordings from their August 2022 performance under the tent.     First broadcast in 1994, Tent Show Radio is a weekly one-hour radio program showcasing the best live recordings from acclaimed music acts and entertainers who grace the Big Top Chautauqua stage each summer in beautiful Bayfield, WI.

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

Hi everyone.This is another Food For Thought episode and it centres around the idea of perfection.  Chris Eldridge said something recently that made me think about letting go of the idea of playing perfectly - I had an experience at a jam this week that really made me understand what he meant.Have a listen and feel free to head over to Bluegrass Jamalong's Instagram or Facebook and tell us what you think!If you haven't read the Brainjo book I mentioned in this episode, I'd really recommend it. Here's the interview I did with Josh Turknett, who wrote it, to give you a sense of what it's about.Happy picking.

Yesterday was June 8th 2022 and would have been Tony Rice's birthday.  As a tribute to Tony I've put together a compilation of some of the conversations I've had  for this podcast where the guests mentioned Tony. I wanted to wait till today to release it as yesterday, Tony's actual birthday, I was speaking to Happy Traum of Homespun, who was a good friend of Tony's and worked closely with him. I wanted to make sure we included something from Happy.So here, a day late but hopefully worth the wait, is Bluegrass Jam Along's birthday tribute to Tony Rice.If you want to hear the full interviews these came from, here they are:Chris Eldridge interview Mike Marshall interviewMarcel Ardans interviewHappy picking (and happy birthday Tony!)Matt

Our podcast interview this week features Punch Brothers guitarist Chris Eldridge.  Chris was a founding member of The Infamous Stringdusters, and the Punch Brothers, was a member of the Live From Here band and also performs and records with Julian Lage.  Recently he became a professor at Oberlin College in the music department.  Today we talk with Chris about an amazing week that he spent with Tony Rice at Tony's home 20 years ago while he was a student at Oberlin.  Chris will also update us on all of his current musical activities.

Together with American Songwriter, we had the pleasure of interviewing The Bright Siders over Zoom audio! The Bright Siders is a unique musical collaboration between Nashville-based Americana songwriter Kristin Andreassen and Brooklyn-based child psychiatrist Kari Groff, MD. Together, they create music with the purpose of helping children connect to their emotions. Ten years in the making, their carefully crafted, star-studded debut album A Mind of Your Own arrives just when the world needs it most, and as the importance of mental health resurfaces. Releasing on January 21, 2021 via Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, the album invites listeners to think deeply about empathy and  self-compassion as they navigate the beauty and complexity of their emotional lives.Together with an inclusive cast of inspiring vocalists – including Ed Helms, The War & Treaty, Gaby Moreno, Punch Brothers, Joey Ryan (The Milk Carton Kids), Oh Pep!, Kaia Kater, and more – Andreassen, Dr. Groff and their co-producer, Chris Eldridge, offer a profoundly empowering collection of songs and skits for elementary age children and the grownups who love them. Kari Groff, MD is an accomplished physician running a child psychiatry practice in Brooklyn, New York.  Her side passion has always been as a fiddler and songwriter.  Through her clinical work as a child psychiatrist, Dr. Groff has seen first-hand how powerful music can be in helping children to process emotions. As a young doctor, she started writing her own material based on the issues brought to her by her patients, weaving psychiatric advice within her catchy lyrics.Kristin Andreassen has toured world stages as a singer, clogger, square dance caller and educator, first with the Maryland-based Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble, and then with oldtime stringband Uncle Earl (Abigail Washburn, Rayna Gellert, KC Groves) and “folk noir” trio Sometymes Why (Ruth Ungar, Aoife O’Donovan). As a songwriter, Andreassen’s achievements include the kids’ radio hit “Crayola Doesn’t Make a Color for Your Eyes”. It was a chance meeting between Andreassen and Dr. Groff that launched The Bright Siders as a shared musical endeavor. The songs and skits, along with Dr. Groff’s “Try this at home…” suggestions contained in the liner notes, are all intended to set the stage for conversations with children about common emotional themes and experiences they’re likely to have while growing up. “More than anything, we encourage parents, educators, and caregivers  to listen to this music with their children. Where does the real magic of this album happen? It’s in actively listening to the music with children and then talking about what they experience in response to the music,” says Dr. Groff.“Children should understand that their feelings are valid and important to the adults around them,” she continues.  “And parents can help children live rich and meaningful lives by helping them accept and understand their emotional experiences with compassion – even if they, as parents, cannot directly fix a problem that is making them anxious or sad.”  With playful lyrics and contagious melodies, this music cuts through the monofocus of our pandemic-centered times, offering a practical guide to raising emotionally intelligent children who, one day soon, will take those skills with them as they experience the beauty in growing up and becoming themselves.We want to hear from you!

In today's episode, I was joined on LinkedIn live by Chris Eldridge, CEO of Interquest - a leading, fully integrated technology staffing group headquartered in London. Chris shared how although having great experience as a result of starting in the industry in 1995, he, like everyone else, had no ‘rule book' for managing the business through the coronavirus. Interquest had a strong Q1 and were super excited about 2020. Chris admitted that at the this point, he frankly didn't believe that COVID-19 would have a great impact on us. In this episode, we talked about How Interquest handled the first wave of the virus How Chris himself found support to make crucial decisions The reality of how the business have survived and thrived by placing 868 candidates remotely using video Internal processes to support the mental wellbeing of all staff Why Chris joined the Hoxo Academy and believes personal branding is important His vision for how recruiters will evolve in the new digital world I love how clear Chris can convey a message, I feel this is one of the reasons why he has been so successful to date. If you would like to reach out to Chris and ask any questions directly, he is more than happy to give up some time! ------ Sponsors: Odro: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2dvRVhiRThadE5uLURWZHFzLWlrdzk1SlJiUXxBQ3Jtc0tud3NGdmFDWnpzTUp4R3VJZGlHNnNaM2wtN0FialJyTS02U25Wc0NiZWNtN2NET1lqUUdVX2lZQW9lWjJSZklrOTBPa0czc3JBNkdKdVIweFRRVi1uMHl1N1MxbVh3ZTlOTGsxY0t4RGs1TUtaUGNhYw%3D%3D&event=video_description&v=rJ2exNr23ek&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F35UrBKr (https://bit.ly/35UrBKr) Vincere: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=QUFFLUhqbFNIUlF3TFJUazZ6NnRKeGs3dkFidjg2X3FwQXxBQ3Jtc0ttZkFSMUlJa3pOWEZfLWsxTDA4b2oxZ1JSWGNvci1OZUFseEtLOEVHSnNhLTNYeEJqc2NGdEc2X25TQXNfMllaazVYWG00Rm15ZGhTdUVyLXV5X1c3a1ZpYVJLSTkxRlBzeFB4clYzUE9icFc3R2lQRQ%3D%3D&event=video_description&v=rJ2exNr23ek&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F2zOL43W (https://bit.ly/2zOL43W)
