Here is a live recording of Jered Widman and The Grass Station, which (in this particular version of the group) features Jered on guitar and vocals, Zak Borden on mandolin, Amy Hakanson on fiddle, Delores Johnson on bass, and myself on banjo. It was recorded at a live concert this past February at the Multnomah Grange #71.

Ever wonder what happens when a passionate online community turns its collective ear toward the heart of bluegrass? That’s exactly what you’ll find in Banjo Hangout Top 100 Bluegrass (Scruggs) Songs. This isn't a produced studio series, but a living archive curated by the players themselves. Each episode features a different five-string classic, performed and uploaded by members of the Banjo Hangout community. You'll hear the distinct, driving sound of Scruggs-style picking that defines the genre, from well-loved standards to deeper cuts, all played with the personal touch of dedicated enthusiasts. Tuning in means accessing a direct line to the grassroots of bluegrass music-the real, sometimes imperfect, always heartfelt interpretations from pickers in living rooms, home studios, and back porches across the world. The beauty of this podcast lies in its authenticity; it's a rotating showcase of skill and tradition, offering both a fantastic listening experience for fans and a valuable resource for players looking to hear how these timeless tunes are handled by their peers. It’s a celebration of the three-finger roll, one community-selected song at a time.
