    IBMA Dark Shadow Special - Becky Buller, Ben Wright (Henhouse Prowlers), Rick Faris & Jana Mougin

    This week's episode is another special recorded at IBMA's World of Bluegrass in Chattanooga. I have four shorter interviews for you, each with someone connected to Dark Shadow Recording. First up is Becky Buller. Becky came onto the podcast in August of 2024 to chat about her record Jubilee. This time we're talking about her album of covers Songs That Sing Me and the role music has played in her life. I also chat with each of my guests in this episode about the importance of IBMA's World of Bluegrass to them as an artist or industry figure. Second is Ben Wright from Henhouse Prowlers, chatting about the band's 21 years together and their 10th record Unravel, as well as their non-profit work with The Bluegrass Ambassadors and why cultural diplomacy is more important now than ever. Up next is singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and luthier Rick Faris. Rick was IBMA's Songwriter of the Year in 2024 and we talk about writing, including his long standing collaboration with Rick Lang, who co-wrote several track's on Rick's new record Life's Parade, plus the guitar building community and his work at Kentucky Guitar Works. Finally I chat to Jana Mougin, who runs Dark Shadow Recording alongside her partner Stephen Mougin, IBMA's Recording Engineer of the Year for 2025. We talk about running a recording company, how Dark Shadow works with their artists as a family and the opportunities IBMA provides for networking and connecting with people. These were fun to do - I hope you enjoy them. For more info, visit https://darkshadowrecording.com  and check out their online store to buy any of the albums we talk about in the episode.

    Maddie Denton (East Nash Grass) on Collaboration and Community

    My guest this week is Maddie Denton, fiddle player with East Nash Grass. I caught up with Maddie at IBMA World of Bluegrass in Chattanooga, the day after she was named IBMA's Fiddle Player of the Year! We chat about East Nash Grass and their wonderful new record 'All God's Children' and about musical communities, collaboration (both within the band and with other people) and why Maddie sees music very much as a team sport. I really enjoyed this one (and it's always a treat to get to have a conversation face to face for a change!)

    Ben Garnett - Building Worlds in Sound on his New Record 'Kite's Keep'

    My guest this week is Ben Garnett, chatting about his superb new record 'Kite's Keep'. The album features a core band of Ben, Brittany Haas and Ethan Jodziewicz, with guest appearances from Darol Anger, Paul Kowert and Chris Eldridge.  We talk about Ben's background, initially in electric guitar, and the influence his cousin Andy Timmons had on him as a mentor, before Ben started exploring acoustic guitar and how that led to him moving to Nashville, with Chris Eldridge becoming his second big mentor. We also talk about how the album came about and Ben's world building approach to making a guitar record. 'Kite's Keep' is a fascinating record and I loved this conversation. You can pre-order and pre-save the album on various platforms.

    Alison Brown - Celebrating 30 Years of Compass Records

    My guest this week is Alison Brown. Alison was the first woman to win an IBMA award in an instrumental category, winning Banjo Player of the Year in 1991. She's also a sought after producer, with credits including Dale Ann Bradley, Peter Rowan, Missy Raines and Bobby Osborne and she spent three years as a member of Alison Krauss's band Union Station. She joins me to talk about another long standing project, Compass records, the label she co-founded in the '90s with her husband Garry West. We talk about Alison's background and how Compass grew from a sketch on the back of a napkin to being one of the most celebrated independent labels in roots music. We also discuss how the music industry has changed over the three decades Compass has been around and what that means, for the label and for artists. We also pick out a few of Alison's favourite releases (and mine!) and chat about what's next for her, including presenting the IBMA Bluegrass Music Awards with Steve Martin, who she has a new record with, due out in October. Over the course of the episode there are excerpts from some of the albums we discuss. You'll hear (in order of appearance): - 'Paint it Shut' - Phillps, Grier and Flinner - 'Weetabix' - New Grange - 'Longhair Bluegrass' - Robbie Fulks - '5 Days Out 2 Days Back' - Alison Brown and Steve Martin, feat. Tim O'Brien For more info and to buy Compass releases, visit the Compass Records website Here's the episode of the podcast celebrating Phillips, Grier & Flinner Happy picking, Matt Support the show === Thanks to Bryan Sutton for his wonderful theme tune to Bluegrass Jam Along (and to Justin Moses for playing the fiddle!)

    Ethan Setiawan's Encyclopedia Mandolinnica

    My guest this week is Ethan Setiawan. Ethan's new album Enyclopedia Mandolinnica is a collection of duets and trios featuring some of Ethan's mandolin heroes and contemporaries, including Mike Marshall, Caternia Lichtenberg, Jacof Jolliff, Matt Flinner and more. Recorded over the space of a year, the album showcases a wide range of styles and dynamics and sits comfortably alongside classic duet records like Into the Cauldron, Diary of a Fiddler and Not Too Far From the Tree. We chat about how the project came about, what the recording process was like and how Ethan approaches the writing process. It's a fascinating record and we had an equally interesting conversation! For more info and to buy the record, visit Ethan's website and BandCamp page Happy picking.
