Awesome banjo player Alison Brown joins the podcast this week to talk about her new album. On banjo, and so much more. We chat about how she discovered bluegrass music growing up in Southern California, about her lifelong friendship with Stuart Duncan, about the challenges of running a record label in 2023 (Alison and her husband run Compass Records) , about teachings and how to increase the number of women playing banjo and much more. It’s a great conversation.
