Description

My guests this week are Ruth Oxenberg and Rob Schumer.They join me to talk about a very special series of concerts they've curated called Bluegrass on Hudson, which are happening at The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, in New York's Hudson Valley.But we start by talking about a wonderful documentary they directed and produced called Bluegrass Journey. It's a movie I've watched multiple times and really love. We chat about how they got into bluegrass in the first place (including how the Del McCoury Band almost became their wedding band!), how a TV news segment on bluegrass turned into a feature length documentary, their experience of filming the movie at Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival and some of the legends of bluegrass who feature in the movie, including the Del McCoury Band, Peter Rowan, Tim O'Brien, Jerry Douglas, Chris Thile and an iconic performance of Shenandoah by Tony Rice.If you haven't seen Bluegrass Journey I'd urge you to check it out. This was a wonderful conversation. I hope you enjoy it!Happy picking,MattWatch Bluegrass Journey on Amazon PrimeBluegrass on Hudson info and tickets 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

The podcast for anyone and everyone who plays bluegrass. Every week we feature a different fiddle tune and give you three brand new backing tracks: Backup 4 times through (you play the tune or improvise breaks), Tune 4 times through (you play backup) and ‘Jam Along’ (4 complete run throughs, alternating backup and tune). They work with any instrument - guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, bass, banjo…even if you’re a bluegrass cellist (I have actually met one!). For more info and chord charts, visit https://bluegrassjamalong.com. Hope you find these tracks useful (and thanks for listening!) - Matt
