    Episode Note****
    To support this podcast you can follow me on Patreon where there is a bunch of video content and tabs available!

    My guest this week is Kaden Hurst. Kaden plays mandolin with Never Come Down, who have a brand new album coming out on June 7th. Kaden Hurst grew up in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California, where he began his musical education in both western classical music and american and scottish fiddle music. Kaden holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Mandolin Performance from Regis University in Denver Colorado, where he studied under 2016 National Mandolin Champion Jordan Ramsey. As a performer and composer, Kaden takes influence from the natural world and folk music from the Americas.
    As a teacher, Kaden’s approach incorporates a deep knowledge of mandolin technique and history, the music theory and musicology underlying american folk music, and empathy for students at any level of mandolin knowledge.
    Kaden currently works as a music teacher and performer based out of Portland Oregon. His interests include the intermingling of folk and art musics, juggling, and the unreasonably compelling nature of fiddle tunes.
    Head over to Never Come Down’s website HERE to follow along an presave their new music and also head over to Kaden’s website HERE to sign up for some lessons!

Great Podcast!

Just saw Special C, last weekend and got to meet Michael Prewitt. What a down to earth human being and excellent picker and Singer! Great interview with Michael!

Wonderful Guests, great conversations

This has become one of my favorite podcasts. Daniel's warm interviews with interesting guests are just a pleasure - it feels like you, Daniel, and his guest are three friends getting together and talking over a beer, with one or more of you holding a mandolin! Wonderful mandolin tips from the guests and Daniel.

My Favorite Podcast

This is a great podcast and an amazing resource for the mandolin community. I started listening in January, 2021 to help get through the pandemic, and while it feels like we’re on the other side of that, I’m still listening every week! Daniel does a great job interviewing professional mandolin players from various genres (although bluegrass is certainly the most dominant), as well as mandolin builders, music store owners, and other guests of interest to people like us.

Sometimes I wonder if I could do what Daniel does and the answer is a resounding: “no”. Daniel is the perfect person to host this show because he sincerely cares about and celebrates the wins of anyone and everyone in his community. I’d give 6 stars if I could! -Ben H. in Austin, TX
