When you have a legend on the phone, where do you begin? How about the beginning... Nah... That's too cliché, but we do get a little bit about his beginning with the banjo. And a whole lot more! We had a great time talking about the new album (out on June 7th). Listen. You can hear just how excited he is about the album, and the music!
Tony Trischka is from Syracuse, you know. He tells us a bit about how he fell in love with the banjo. We talk about "banjo jokes," and we talk about the legend who inspired him and inspires him today - Earl Scruggs. I love how he says he's still learning how to play bluegrass, even after all these years.
Tony will be playing with an amazing band, June 6th at The Cock N Bull. For more information click here. That band with Tony includes Michael Daves, Alex Hargreaves, and Jared Engel.
