Five String Holler

Welcome to Five String Holler, a podcast straight outta Eastern Kentucky where the banjos ring, the stories run deep, and not a whole lot gets sugarcoated. Hosted by David Barnett (aka Banjo Barnett), this show dives into all things music—especially bluegrass and country—mixed with real conversations, local legends, and the kind of everyday stories you only hear sittin’ on a porch somewhere in the hills. You’ll hear from pickers, players, and good folks from all walks of life—some you know, some you oughta know. From talkin’ shop about tone and technique to tellin’ stories that’ll make you laugh, shake your head, or both… this ain’t your polished Nashville production—and that’s the point. It’s real. It’s raw. It’s honest. So whether you’re a lifelong musician, a weekend picker, or just somebody who enjoys a good story and a better laugh—pull up a chair and settle in. This is Five String Holler.
