In this episode of The High Note podcast, I chat with banjo
legend Tony Trischka about his latest project, "Earl
Jam," which he will be performing at the 61st Philadelphia Folk
Festival.
Tony discusses his tribute to banjo pioneer Earl Scruggs which
led to him collaborating with musicians Billy Strings and Del
McCoury and many more for his most recent album, "Earl Jam."
He also shares insights into his deep connection with the
festival, dating back to his first visit in the 1960s and some
pretty great stories about the 60s folk music scene.
We discuss Tony's illustrious career how he has taught people
like Molly Tuttle and Béla Fleck and continues to teach through
Artist
Works. Tony also gives a preview of what to expect from his set
on the Martin Guitar Main Stage Aug. 18 at the Philadelphia Folk
Festival and his future projects.
