Banjo Hall of Famer Ned Luberecki on living his dream, Nashville’s tribe of players and recording a jazz album

Banjo Hall of Famer Ned Luberecki joins us in the studio with a banjo on his knee.

We ask Ned about the banjo’s role in modern music, his long road from growing up in Maryland to making it in Music City, and the role sobriety has played in his success. We also explore the collaborative spirit that keeps him in Nashville and how to look cool while your fingers are flying. “Resting banjo face” really is a thing.

This episode was produced by Mary Mancini.

Guest:

• Ned Luberecki, musician; teacher; banjoist for the Becky Buller Band; host of “More Banjo Sunday” and “Derailed” on SiriusXM’s Bluegrass Junction
