Grammy-Nominated Bronwyn Keith-Hynes on Bluegrass, Festivals, and Building a Solo Career

Author: Nate Riggs August 29, 2025 Duration: 20:02

In this episode of the Music Festivals Podcast, I was thrilled to sit down with the incredibly talented Bronwyn Keith-Hynes.

We talked all about her Grammy-nominated vocal album "I Built a World," what it was like transitioning from being known strictly as a fiddler to stepping up as a vocalist, and the journey that led her there—including the influence of the American Roots Program at Berklee and inspirations from greats like Molly Tuttle.


Bronwyn opens up about the challenges and excitement of recording and performing her own songs, the creative process of assembling her ensemble, and how her marriage to fellow fiddler and musician Jason Carter intertwines with her career

If you’re a fan of bluegrass, live music, or just want a peek behind the scenes of the festival world, you won’t want to miss this one.
