Get Up in the Cool features conversations and musical collaborations with some of Old Time music's heaviest hitters, like Ken Perlman, Adam Hurt, Spencer & Rains, and Jake Blount. As an interviewer, Cameron balances an effusive curiosity for the potential of traditional music with a dogged respect for its origins. Serving as audience surrogate, Cameron asks illuminating questions to Old Time's best and brightest while telling the larger story of the tradition's modern era.

Customer Reviews
Interesting & High-Quality
THE podcast for fans of traditional (“old-time”) music. Wide variety of styles, regions, instrumentation, and viewpoints represented. Rich and engaging discussion balanced with fantastic musical interludes. Cameron does a great job; production is really top-notch. Well worth a listen!
Excellent music podcast!
Cameron DeWhitt's nerdy, open and conversational approach makes this a delightful podcast. Interviews with musicians, who usually have thoughtful things to say, interspered with American Old Time music playing.
Amazing show
I love the mixture of interview and music. Cameron DeWhitt travels all over (including Australia!) to interview and jam with musicians, and its so great. Highly recommended.
