S1 E7. Mike Bub: Sideman Extraordinaire (Part 1)

Author: Blue Poncho Media September 24, 2019 Duration: 51:39
  From his time of growing up as a competition banjo player in the southwest, Arizona native Mike Bub has been a bluegrass staple -- from his time with the Weary Hearts to the Del McCoury Band, and even today as he is one of the most sought after bass players in Nashville. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation with Mike and host Daniel Mullins, we hear about Mike's upbringing, the culture of bluegrass competitions, playing bluegrass internationally, and much more. Let’s join Mike and Daniel backstage at the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America (SPBGMA)’s annual event in Nashville, TN.  This episode is brought to you by the following sponsors:  -- Samson's Haircare: samsonshaircare.com (Use code BLUEGRASS to save 10%.) -- Best Self Co: bestself.co (Use code BLUEGRASS to save 15%) -- Hoosier Devil: hoosierdevil.com

There’s a particular sound that feels like home-the drive of a banjo, the ache of a fiddle, the harmony of voices that seem to rise from the ground itself. Walls of Time: Bluegrass Podcast is built around that feeling, but it goes deeper, into the stories and people behind the music. Host Daniel Mullins doesn’t just sit in a studio; he takes his recorder to festivals, backstage areas, and front porches, capturing conversations where they naturally happen. This approach gives each episode an intimate, almost conversational quality, as if you’re right there in the room. You’ll hear from legendary pickers, innovative songwriters, and the dedicated souls who keep the tradition alive, all sharing their journeys in their own voices. The podcast, from Blue Poncho Media, is less about formal interviews and more about genuine connection, exploring how these artists live and breathe the genre. It’s for anyone who wants to understand not just how the music is made, but why it matters. Tune in for unfiltered stories, laughter, and the raw, unvarnished sound of bluegrass history being told by those who are shaping it, one note and one story at a time.
