Chewing the Gristle with Greg Koch
Daniel Kimbro - From sideman to songwriter, Daniel shares his musical path

Chewing the Gristle with Greg Koch

What does it take to become a musical chameleon who commands respect across diverse genres? Daniel Kimbro delivers a masterclass in musical versatility on this episode of Chewing the Gristle.From his beginnings in a family folk band called Mountain Soul to his current status as bassist for Jerry Douglas and session player on Eric Clapton records, Daniel shares the winding path that shaped his musical identity. With disarming honesty, he reveals how growing up surrounded by Stanley Brothers, Sting, and classical music created the perfect foundation for a career that refuses categorization.Daniel takes us deep into the heart of Appalachian musical traditions, particularly the fascinating world of murder ballads – those deceptively cheerful melodies paired with dark narratives. His own songwriting draws from this tradition, including "Loyston," a haunting tale about a town submerged underwater when the Tennessee Valley Authority built dams across the region. The conversation explores how these songs balance historical reality with creative embellishment, creating something both authentic and original.Whether you're a musician seeking to diversify your influences or simply curious about the connections between bluegrass, jazz, and everything in between, this conversation offers rich insights into finding your authentic voice while honoring musical traditions. Check out Daniel's music and keep an eye out for The Woodshed Guitar Experience, where he serves as music director alongside world-class guitarists sharing knowledge in an unusually accessible environment.

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I had the pleasure of sitting down with singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Matt Krahula. I recently stumbled upon his music and was instantly hooked.Matt Krahula, currently based in Honolulu, HI, is a true musical talent. He's the bassist for Grammy-nominated artist Henry Kapono, the lead singer of The Nightmare River Band, and one half of the Chamber Folk duo Beyond Hope, alongside Canadian singer-fiddler Sierra Noble. After years of touring across the mainland and immersing himself in New York City's vibrant music scene, Matt decided to plant new roots in sunny Waikiki. Since 2018, he's become one of Hawaii's most sought-after artists, securing residencies at some of Oahu's top venues and opening for major acts like Silver Sun Pickups, Frank Turner, Mike Love, Jerry Santos, and Keola Beamer.Matt's musical journey began at the Purchase Conservatory of Music, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Classical Music Performance on Upright Bass. Over the past 15 years, he's toured extensively, written, and recorded music, playing over 500 shows with his band. He's shared the stage with acts like Old Man Markley, The Last Bandoleros, Boy & Bear, Matt Simons, Tokyo Police Club, and Robert Ellis. His talent has earned him a nomination for an Independent Music Award for Best Alt-Folk Song of the Year, and his music has been featured in TV shows like 9-1-1 on Fox, American Pickers, Showtime's Gigolos, NHL broadcasts, and various commercial campaigns.Since making Hawaii his home, Matt has built a solid reputation as a dependable sideman.
