Pert Near Sandstone hosts the annual String Band Gatherin' at the Turf Club in Saint Paul this Friday and Saturday. Each night there will be local and visiting bands, plus an opening act, and an after party. Phil Nusbaum talked to J. Lenz and Justin Bruhn of the band about the event. First, J responds to Phil's question about thinking, all year ‘round, about acts for the Gatherin'.

Episode 356 features Justin Osborne of Susto! He's definitely a full-time rock star, and I honestly don't know where to begin with this one, because they're easily in my top five favorite bands of all time. It was incredibly humbling and exciting to have Justin on the show. I've always described Susto to my friends as a sort of psychedelic Americana, but of course they have a whole host of other influences in their sound. At the core of it all, though, is Justin's songwriting and storytelling, which is often off-the-wall, honest, comedic, clever, and zen all at the same time. I first found Susto through a YouTube series called Susto Stories and was immediately hooked. The originality of the stories and lyrics, the soft, textural environment, and the soothing Southern influences in the music create such a calm, warm, yet engaging sound. One that stands apart from anything else I've ever heard. If you're looking for a place to start, I'd definitely suggest their first album or that video series. In the conversation, we talked about Justin's musical journey, starting out in Charleston, his short venture studying abroad in Cuba, the intricacies of psychedelics, songwriting, the Austin music scene, The String Band, and much more. I primarily wanted to get Justin on the show this week because he's playing solo again at Schmidt House in Catonsville, MD, on February 11 (ticket link in the episode notes), and we're all super excited about it. I also can't say enough good things about Schmidt House shows and how much fun they are in general. I've often referred to Mark Schmidt as the Great Gatsby of Catonsville, and I continue to stand by that. Lastly, I've never had a more difficult time picking a song from a band for an episode—because I could literally feature any of them—but I figured I'd include the song that first introduced me to Susto, “Drug Money,” as well as one of their most recent releases, “Break Free, Rolling Stone.” If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend coming out to this show and having some beers with us! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/susto-schmidt-house-tickets-1980430363529   Please follow, rate, or review the podcast wherever you are streaming if you'd like to help us out.  -- Part-Time Rockstar Productions is available in the DMV for music videos and live filming.   

A conversation with members of the McGovern String Band about an upcoming gig in Grand Island and finding the beauty in bluegrass.

A conversation with members of the McGovern String Band about an upcoming gig in Grand Island and finding the beauty in bluegrass.

In this episode, I sit down with bassist Jeff Picker to talk about the winding road from jazz to roots music, and how his time with Ricky Skaggs became a real-world education in feel, note choice, and serving the song. Jeff shares how he went from New York to Nashville, how that Skaggs connection opened doors at the Opry, and why bluegrass bass is simple in concept but not easy in execution.We also dig into electric country bass and the influence of players like Joe Osborn, including what it means to think about voice leading, “flop” bass, and why subtle choices can be the difference between good and great. Jeff explains how he approaches being a hired gun, adapting to different bands, and why your individuality comes through without forcing it.Finally, Jeff walks me through his solo records, what pushed him to start writing, how the first project gained traction on SiriusXM, and what it was like working with Victor Krauss as a co-producer. We wrap by talking about sessions, life as a working musician in Nashville, the Opry staff band, and the reality of raising a puppy while keeping your calendar full.To learn more about Jeff, visit his website.Music from the Episode:The Winds of Spring (Jeff Picker)Ricky's Run (Jeff Picker)Night Terrors (Jeff Picker)The Unfinished Path (Jeff Picker)Thank you for listening.

On this edition of The Mark White Show, we're celebrating a big national win for Lauderdale County and the state of Alabama! The Lauderdale County High School String Band, featuring Conner McMeans, Ty McMeans, and Titus Thornton, under the guidance of sponsor Ivy Harbin, has been named National FFA Talent Champions. Hear their story of hard work, teamwork, and hometown pride as they share what it was like to represent Lauderdale County and bring home the top honor from the FFA National Convention. Listen & share!

In this episode, I shine the spotlight on The Unfaithful Servants through a conversation with singer, guitarist, and songwriter Dylan Stone From Vancouver Island's roots scene to a week immersed at IBMA in Chattanooga, the Servants have built a sound that slips past easy labels: tight three- and four-part harmonies, fearless arrangements, and a blend of bluegrass, folk, alt-country, and Americana that still feels unmistakably like one band.Dylan walks me through the Servants' arc: his partnership with mandolinist Jesse Cobb (a founding member of The Infamous Stringdusters), the jolt of energy when fiddle phenom Quinn Etheridge-Peddon joined, and the final puzzle piece in bassist Mark Johnson. We discuss the chemistry that's palpable onstage and how trust enables them to push beyond genre boundaries while always prioritizing the song.Their new album, Fallen Angel (out October 17), captures that identity. The band converted Quinn's basement into a studio. It brought in producer Adrian Dolan to keep it honest and alive, arrangements evolving in real time, performances that breathe, and the raw cohesion of a working band. We also explore their next steps: incorporating listening-led improvisation into writing (akin to jazz school rather than “endless solo”) and planning U.S. runs in 2026 from the Pacific Northwest down the coast and inland.The title track “Fallen Angel” is out now on all platforms.Band lineupDylan Stone — vocals, guitar, songwritingJesse Cobb — mandolin, instrumental writing, vocalsQuinn Etheridge-Peddon — fiddle, vocalsMark Johnson — bass, vocalsTo learn more about The Unfaithful Servants, visit their website.Music from the Episode:Fallen Angel (The Unfaithful Servants)Real to Touch (The Unfaithful Servants)Thank you for listening!

This musical heritage creates a powerful through-line in The Angels' sound—authentic rock that honors tradition while embracing fresh creative directions.Sam offers fascinating insights into the band's current chapter, including their lineup changes, with drummer Nick Norton stepping into the frontman role and the release of their latest album "Ninety Nine."

The conversation weaves through five decades of Angels history, from their humble beginnings as the Moonshine Jug and String Band to becoming one of Australia's most influential rock acts—a band Axl Rose credits as a primary inspiration for forming Guns N' Roses.The Angels' Go For Broke tour represents everything this iconic band stands for—honoring their classic hits while showcasing new material that proves their creative fire burns as bright as ever.

From a background steeped in religion to finding a new spiritual connection through music, his path is both compelling and deeply human. It's about navigating the complexities of faith, the pain of soul-searching, and the joy of finding your voice in a new community. This interview peels back the layers of an artist who isn't afraid to explore his past while forging a new sound. You'll Also Discover:How a chance meeting can spark a musical revolution. A surprising take on finding community outside of traditional structures. The key to re-imagining your own work with fresh energy. Why "confessional" songwriting can be both a burden and a release.

After years of performing around the country, Arthur and Chris have made a lot of musical memories. Both have enjoyed their time in the award-winning bands; The Wooks, The 23 String Band, and Wolfpen Branch. They are excited to continue making Kentucky Bluegrass music together and to represent their roots with some of the best musicians in the Kentucky scene today.

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.

This week, Toronto, Canada old time trio The Lonesome Ace Stringband recorded live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park during our annual String Band festival. Also, interviews with Lonesome Ace founder and banjo player Chris Coole. “The Lonesome Ace Stringband bring grit, skill and abandon to Americana music, bridging old-time, bluegrass and folk traditions into a seamless hybrid of original material that is at once fresh and timeless.  The trio's sound is anchored in the fiddle and clawhammer banjo of John Showman and Chris Coole. They are joined by a rotating cast of extraordinary upright bassists (including founding member Max Malone, James Mceleney, and Lotus Wight). The band moves freely between a sound so commanding it doesn't seem like it should be coming from a stringband, to a sparse fragility that draws the listener closer.  Whether singing about climate change, modern love, BBQ techniques or life's inevitable existential crises, the band cuts to the core. They can also turn and churn out a tune with so much verve that it will make your heart spin and set the dance floor swirling.” https://lonesomeace.com/about In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers an archival recording of Ozark original Lisa Wiede singing the cowboy ballad “John Martin Duffy,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In this week's guest host segment, renowned traditional folk musician, writer, and step dancer Aubrey Atwater discusses the seafaring song “Jamestown Homeward Bound.”

Send us a text The lineup of the project known as Colorado Junction has changed lineups a couple of times over the years, with musicians leaving to focus on their personal lives or pursue other career opportunities. In 2025, the band will be performing more frequently in a new lineup, which longtime member Troy Yanel refers to as “Colorado Junction 3.0.” That lineup consists of Yanel on guitar, Chris Spurlock on mandolin, David Weisbart on bass, Bobby Krech on fiddle, and all four providing vocals.All four of these musicians love playing together, and in fact, they've been playing together for years before “Colorado Junction 3.0.” Much like Yanel answered a Craigslist ad in Nashville, Spurlock answered a Craigslist ad that resulted in him meeting Yanel and Krech for the first time. They played in a group called Mighty Pleasin, with a fourth member, Quinn McKay, on bass, and Krech ended up bringing Spurlock into another group of his, Strung High String Band. Spurlock and Krech still play in that group today, and in fact, the two are now not only close friends and musical partners but also direct neighbors, living in houses right next to each other. After the COVID-19 quarantine period, Weisbart answered another Craiglist ad from Yanel, so now, the four will revitalize Colorado Junction in this current lineup. Ultimately, the group hopes that audiences will continue supporting live, local music, that their shows will encourage them to do so, and that they're able to spread joy to the people who come to see their performances.  Thank you for listening to The Mountain-Ear podcast featuring the news and culture from peak to peak.

“There was no Command-Zed back then!” John Wood engineered or produced some of the most magical, timeless and affecting records ever made - by Nick Drake, John Martyn, the McGarrigles, Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny, John Cale, Squeeze and many more. He's 85 now and looks back here at a luminous career that started with mastering singles at Decca and transferred to Sound Techniques, the mecca he co-founded in an old cowshed in Chelsea when takes were spontaneous and even the tape-op was part of the performance. He misses those days, when albums were organic and the labels had less control, and talks here about … … “the age when sound had perspective and seemed three-dimensional”. … Nick Drake's confidence and his guiding lights - eg the Beach Boys and Randy Newman (“who I'd never heard of”). And his final nighttime sessions. … the way Fairport recorded – “We're only going to do it once” – and why they could make three albums a year. …managing the girls in the Incredible String Band, “especially when Licorice played drums”. … John Cale in “maniac mode” and his sudden and unexpected friendship with Nick Drake. … Cale and Nico at the Chelsea Hotel. … and why ‘Geoff Muldaur Is Having A Wonderful Time' was the job he remembers the fondest. Also mentioned: the Downliners Sect, Judy Collins, The Marmalade, Graham Gouldman and Squeeze. John's got nothing to plug and just wanted to talk to us.

Today's guest really brings back some memories. Please welcome Sheila Shukla from Magnolia Street String Band. Sheila and I go way back. Like WAAAAAY back, all the way to elementary school. There's a little bit of catching up in this episode, sprinkled throughout Sheila's story. She talks about how she used to force her sister, Rita, to help her figure out harmonies she was hearing before they could go out and play. And eventually, growing up in 80's and 90's New Jersey, she got into metal and alternative music pretty heavily.  But at one point, she became mesmerized by bluegrass. She tells exactly what happened and when it happened. She became so obsessed with the sound in college and had a great support system to help her learn guitar and figure out how to play what she was hearing in her head. But life snuck in and put some of the musical ambitions on hold for a bit. But music has a tendency to make its way to the forefront. And so it did with Sheila. She met some like-minded folks and formed Magnolia Street String Band in 2013. The band has a very impressive pedigree and a beautiful classic bluegrass sound.  After some false starts, they released their debut in 2019 and then had to wait with the rest of the world for things to open up post-COVID to play again. Sheila and the band have a new album coming out and it's unique in the bluegrass world. It's called By The Light Of The Moon and it's basically a children's album that doesn't sound childish. It's written for kids, keeping in mind that parents have to listen to it at the same time. So why not make it enjoyable for both? Look for it starting on National Children's Music Day, October 4th.

On this episode, we were joined by Tara Miller and Alex Schultz of Rock Bottom String Band! We love this band's music and the folks that make that music. They're kind folks and jaw-dropping musicians to top it all off. It's almost unfair. Rock Bottom String Band plays music inspired by bluegrass, punk, country, roots, and rock at breakneck speeds with a whole lot of fun. Born in 2013 from backyard jams in the town of San Marcos, TX, we've become an internationally touring presence in the alternative Americana community. The goal of every show is to enjoy life with good times and new friends. Rock Bottom brings that energy to each performance to guarantee an engaging and immersive experience for the audience. https://www.rockbottomstringband.com/ - Website https://www.facebook.com/rockbottomstringband - Facebook https://www.instagram.com/rockbottomstringband - Instagram
