Send us a textWith one of the most iconic lineups in its storied history, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band continues to shine as one of the most accomplished groups in American roots music. Featuring founding members Jeff Hanna (lead vocals, guitar) and Jimmie Fadden (drums, harmonica, vocals), along with longtime bandmate Bob Carpenter (keys, vocals), who has been with the band since 1980, and rounded out by Jim Photoglo (bass, vocals), Jaime Hanna (guitar, vocals), and Ross Holmes (fiddle, mandolin, vocals), the Dirt Band has captivated audiences for nearly six decades.Their career began in 1966 as a jug band in Southern California, quickly rising to prominence by 1970 with their breakthrough album Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy, featuring the hit single "Mr. Bojangles." Over the years, they've made an indelible mark on American music with hits like “Fishin' In The Dark,” “Modern Day Romance,” and “Long Hard Road.” The band is also celebrated for their three Will The Circle Be Unbroken records, which featured collaborations with bluegrass, country, and folk legends such as Earl Scruggs and Doc Watson. These efforts earned the Dirt Band GRAMMY, CMA, and IBMA Awards, while their PBS special Circlin' Back! won an Emmy.In 2022, the band released Dirt Does Dylan to widespread critical acclaim, continuing their legacy of musical excellence. Bob Carpenter, a recent guest on Midwest Mixtape Podcast, discussed the band's journey and the exciting next chapter—ALL THE GOOD TIMES: The Farewell Tour. Launching in 2024, this tour will celebrate the nearly 60 years of music that the Dirt Band has shared with the world, offering fans a final chance to experience the band's legendary live performances.http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.

This week, Gatlinburg, Tennessee based neo-traditional bluegrass quintet The Po' Ramblin' Boys recorded live at Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with Ramblin' Boys guitarist and vocalist, Josh Rinkel. “At a time when most people feel constantly distracted by technology and barraged by the news, authenticity and straightforward honesty are paramount. There's something about the music of The Po' Ramblin' Boys that cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul. Formed in the Smoky Mountains, The Po' Ramblin' Boys are at once exactly what you would expect and not at all what you would expect from a tattooed East Tennessee Bluegrass outfit. No strangers to hard work, the boys are as much at home riding in their restored Eagle tour bus as they are crawling underneath to fix it when it needs maintenance. But they take pride in being ambassadors of their genre, and the group has brought their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, and even the GRAMMY Red Carpet, with stunning results. ‘I think to a certain extent everyone is just craving music that they can feel, and any music that feels real will reach any audience' says CJ Lewandowski, the groups founder, ‘We want to put bluegrass right where it's least expected.' Perhaps this mindset is why the group earned the title of Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2018 IBMA Awards.” https://www.theporamblinboys.com In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1981 archival recording of Ozark original Ervin Freeze performing the traditional song “Charming Betsy,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. Author, folklorist and songwriter Charley Sandage presents an historical portrait of the people, events and indomitable spirit of Ozark culture that resulted in the creation of the Ozark Folk Center State Park and its enduring legacy of music and craft. In this episode, Charley continues our celebration of 50 years of the Buffalo National River with a profile of the Buffalo National River Partners, a civic organization that supports the river in innumerable ways.

Celebrating the 2020 IBMA Award winners, in particular those who have a NZ or Australian connection: Mile Twelve with NZer BB Bowness, ‘Music From Foggy Hollow’ host Mike Kear (Australia/NZ); Michael Cleveland with Tommy Emmanuel (Australia).

This week, International Bluegrass Music Association award winners, singers, songwriters, and multi-instrumentalists Mike Compton and Joe Newberry recorded live at Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with this prolific pair of pickers. “Mike Compton and Joe Newberry, masters of old-time mandolin and banjo/guitar, dig deep into early country music and blues. Their duet-singing, two-man string band ranges between traditional songs, instrumentals, ‘mother’ ballads and original tunes. It’s not about the number of notes with Compton and Newberry, but telling the truth and respecting the song. Mike Compton is a Grammy award winner, IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year nominee, a steady sideman for John Hartford from 1994 until Hartford’s death in 2001, and mandolinist for the Nashville Bluegrass Band. Mike is inarguably the world expert on Bill Monroe-style bluegrass mandolin, and is also steeped in old-time fiddle tunes, early string band music and Delta blues. Known far and wide for his powerful banjo playing, Joe Newberry is a prizewinning guitarist, songwriter, and singer to boot. In addition to his work with Mike, Joe plays with old-time music legends Bill Hicks, Jim Watson, and Mike Craver, performs with guitarist Jon Shain, and is a frequent guest on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion. He won the songwriting prize for “Gospel Recorded Performance” at the 2012 IBMA Awards for his song Singing As We Rise, and was co-writer, with Eric Gibson, of the 2013 IBMA Song of the Year for They Called It Music.” http://comptonandnewberry.com In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers a 1978 archival recording of Ozark original Pat Hammock performing the traditional song “I Never Will Marry,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. Writer, musician, and traditional dancer Aubrey Atwater discusses the universality of folk music, how it transcends geography, culture and time, with musical examples and her own cultivated insight.

Not too long ago, Grammy award winner, member of the Grand Ole Opry and brother to Bluegrass Queen Rhonda Vincent, Darrin Vincent, of Dailey & Vincent, called into the KKFI studios for a conversation in advance of the duo’s appearance in Kansas City at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. As you will hear, Darrin is thoughtful, kind, a loving husband and father…generous in his praise of others with a very specific sense of humor. For example, when asked “How do you get to be a millionaire in the music business? His response: “Start with $2 million!” And his laugh…oh my…that laugh! Darrin started singing at age three and playing music at age six along with sister Rhonda Vincent, as part of his family band, The Sally Mountain Show. As a young man, Darrin played guitar for 7 years for the legendary John Hartford. As a member of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder for more than 10 years, Darrin has won five Grammy Awards and eight IBMA Awards for Instrumental Group of the Year. He has performance and recording credits with dozens of artists including Dolly Parton, Nora Jones, Emmylou Harris, Earl Scruggs, Bruce Hornsby, Vince Gill, John Hartford, and many more. He has producer credits on Grammy nominated projects with sister Rhonda Vincent, Susie Luchsinger, Cherryholmes and Hunter Berry. He is an accomplished musician and vocalist with expert abilities to arrange and create captivating music. Daily & Vincent play over 100 dates a year including the Grand Ole Opry, have a tv show on Marty Stuart’s RFD-TV cable network, host a cruise and perform at festivals throughout the world.

The Grascals are arguably one of the biggest groups in bluegrass music, given their many wins at the IBMA Awards and other high profile events.  With a new record label in the Mountain Home Music Company, they've wasted no time in putting out another incredible album..."Life Finds A Way."  While it might be a little more county than some of their past albums, this surely will satisfy their die-hard fans.  Here's Kelly at a special listening party for the release of that new album.

Short podcast today since we were broadcasting the IBMA Awards show.

HOT TUNA is founding members of the legacy rock band Jefferson Airplane, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady. They have just released their first studio record in 20 years "Steady As She Goes" on Red House Records and will be performing on WoodSongs in a special acoustic performance to celebrate the album. From their days playing together as teenagers to their current acoustic and electric blues, probably no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years. The pair began playing together while growing up in the Washington D.C. area. While in The Jefferson Airplane, putting together the soundtrack of the 60s, the pair remained loyal to the blues, jazz, bluegrass, and folk influences of the small clubs and larger venues they had learned from years before. While in San Francisco and even in hotel rooms on the road, they would play together and worked up a set of songs that they would often play at clubs in the Bay Area and while on the road, often after having played a set with the Airplane. This led to a record contract; in fact, they had an album recorded before they decided to name their band Hot Tuna. With it they launched on an odyssey which has itself continued for more than 35 years, always finding new and interesting turns in its path forward. MOUNTAIN HEART is bluegrass super group that has been fearlessly revolutionizing the way acoustic music can be presented and played. The band's name has been synonymous with cutting-edge excellence in acoustic music circles since the group's creation in 1999. Widely known throughout the music industry for continually redefining the boundaries of acoustic music, the band is one of the most highly awarded ensembles ever assembled. Mountain Heart, or members of the band, have either won or been nominated for Grammy's, ACM, CMA, and multiple IBMA Awards. The band is out touring in support of their 7'th album, "That Just Happened", which was released in late 2010 on their own imprint, MH Music Group.

Charlie Mattos with Del McCoury, Sam Bush, Russell Moore, Doyle Lawson, The Gibson Brothers, The Grascals, Dailey & Vincent and Steve Martin, live from the IBMA Awards Pre-show reception on September 29, 2011.

Georgia-based bluegrass ensemble, Mountain Heart has been fearlessly revolutionizing the way acoustic music can be presented and played. Widely known throughout the music industry for constantly redefining the cutting edge, the band has gained legions of fans both as a result of their incredible musicianship and their exciting live performances. As one of the most highly awarded ensembles ever assembled, Mountain Heart, or members of the band, have won numerous Grammys, ACM, CMA, and IBMA Awards. They have appeared on the revered stage of the Grand Ole Opry in excess of 100 times and have shared the stage with everyone from Lynyrd Skynyrd, Montgomery Gentry, Merle Haggard, and Brad Paisley, to Alison Krauss, Yonder Mountain Stringband, LeAnn Rimes, and Patty Loveless. Leading the charge in taking acoustic music to the masses, Mountain Heart deftly combines elements of rock, jamband, blues, jazz, and bluegrass into a high-energy sound that is at once fresh, accessible, and unmistakeable. Paraphrased from a Country Weekly review of their latest recording: "Comprised of six young men who have collectively woven an impressive list of credits (working with Carrie Underwood, Ricky Skaggs, Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton and others), their sound hails more from the Southern-rock core of Georgia or the blues- drenched Louisiana bayou than the hills of Kentucky....this band's mix of country, bluegrass, blues and rock should fit comfortably beside newgrass contemporaries such as The Infamous Stringdusters and The Grascals."

DOYLE LAWSON & QUICKSILVER are one of Bluegrass' most honored and revered masters. He got his start in bluegrass music in 1963 when he played banjo for Jimmy Martin. In 1966, he started working with JD Crowe in Lexington, KY where he played guitar and later switched to mandolin. In 1971, Doyle formed his own band, Quicksilver. This award winning ensemble has picked up the IBMA Award for best vocal group an unprecedented seven years in a row. Doyle is also the recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts' National Heritage Fellowship, the Endowment's highest honor granted to traditional and folk artists for career accomplishments. He and his band are back to introduce songs from their new album called 'Drive Time' on Crossroads Music. KIDS OF BLUEGRASS! Here are three young musicians that are rising stars in the bluegrass community. Daniel Patrick is a 16 year old banjo player and plays in his family band with his 13 year old sister, Samantha, who plays mandolin. Both started playing music at a very early age, and their group has performed at many Bluegrass festivals, churches, and community events. Kyle Ramey is 9 and is a hot shot mandolin player. He has already shared the stage with bluegrass legends like Daily & Vincent, The Grascals and JD Crowe. Daniel, Samantha &" Kyle will be performing together to show the incredible talent of the next generation of bluegrass of musicians.

The annual IBMA Awards show is always a blast!  The International Bluegrass Music Association honors the best in the genre every year at the legendary Ryman Auditorium.  Kelly Lynn had a chance to catch up with the honorees to talk about the big night.  

CHERRYHOLMES return to bluegrass as the reigning “First family of Bluegrass.� They have stormed to the top of the music world since winning the 2005 IBMA Award for Entertainer of the Year. As little as 10 years ago, the band itself didn�t exist, and half of its youthful members hadn�t even picked up instruments yet. With four GRAMMY nominations to date, the fourth album, “Cherryholmes IV Common Threads� on Skaggs Family Records, brings this talented family back to the WoodSongs stage. KENNY WHITE is an explosive piano player, a soulful singer-songwriting and a Grammy nominated producer. He worked with artists like Gladys Knight, Linda Ronstadt, Dwight Yoakam, Ricky Skaggs, Kim Carnes Felix Cavaliere, Dobie Gray and Aaron Neville among many others. His relationships with Marc Cohn and Shawn Colvin led to his producing Colvin�s Grammy-nominated, “I Don�t Know Why� and to his involvement in Cohn�s eponymous platinum debut record. Kenny signed to Judy Collins Wildflower Records and has just released“Comfort in the Static,� his long-awaited newest release.
