Bluegrass Breakdown: New Old-Time Music

It’s as old as the hills, better than it sounds, much more complicated than it seems, and immensely more fun than it ought to be. Thanks to the likes of Grain Thief, the Mostly Mountain Boys, Adam Hurt, Allison De Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves, and the Tall Poppy String Band, we’ll be basking in the wonder of new old-time music.PROGRAM PLAYLIST
