There's a particular sound echoing through the streets of Brooklyn, one that might surprise you if you only know the borough for its indie rock or hip-hop. It's the lively, intricate sound of bluegrass, and it's found a thriving home here. Bluegrass BKLYN is your backstage pass to that world, hosted by Mike Willner and Liz Wolfe. This isn't just a music podcast; it's a conversation about the people and places that make the scene tick. You'll hear directly from the musicians and instructors who are pushing the tradition forward, and get the inside scoop on where to catch a great show or find a welcoming jam session. Episodes dive into everything from the deep history of classic tunes to the modern artists blending genres, along with practical chats about instruments, gear, and the community events that bring everyone together. Think of it as hanging out with knowledgeable friends who love to talk about the strings, the stories, and the surprising heart of bluegrass culture in New York City and well beyond its borders. Tune in for a genuine, down-to-earth look at what keeps this music alive and picking.
