The session becomes a testament to the ways artists can maintain their integrity while adapting to new circumstances, revealing the beauty of synergy and shared inspiration.

    The Tuesday String Band - The Strings of Change
    Feb 7 2025
    Stumbling upon a dusty mandolin in an antique store wasn't just a chance encounter for Ryan—it was the spark that ignited a passion for bluegrass music. Join us as we recount the fascinating journey of The Tuesday String Band, musicians who transitioned from the world of jazz music and outdoor rehearsals at Western Oregon University to the vibrant and inclusive community of bluegrass music. Embracing the soulful sounds of acoustic instruments, they found a new musical identity. Our discussion also shines a light on the communal spirit of bluegrass, a genre that defies the often elitist environments found in university jazz settings. Inspired by contemporary artists like Billy Strings, Gage, Mason, and Ryan explore how bluegrass seamlessly blends with other genres, giving rise to innovative sub-genres. They share their experiences and what it has been like for them building community, highlighting their weekly residency at Gilgamesh Brewing, where audience engagement, humor, and personal interaction became key to creating memorable performances. Finally, we reflect on the transformative power of music in personal growth and career fulfillment. In a world often driven by societal pressures and outdated notions of success, embracing music as a career path is both a bold and rewarding journey. We're lucky to have folks like this forging ahead to make a name for themselves!

    Max Wareham - Taking Musical Chances
    Jan 24 2025
    Discover the fascinating journey of musician Max Wareham as he transitions from jazz to bluegrass, uncovering a serendipitous family connection with legendary bluegrass artist Peter Rowan. Max’s tale is not just about finding lineage but also about the dedication and persistence required to learn from a master. We explore how Max's musical understanding transformed under Peter's mentorship, and why live performances became an essential element of his growth, teaching him the true essence of music. Max shares his unique relationship with the banjo and how an unexpected gift of this instrument led him to embrace its ethereal sound. Through a summer filled with bluegrass festivals and communal music-making, he experienced the joy of playing not to impress, but to share and connect with others. His story paints a vivid picture of the vibrant bluegrass community and the profound impact it had on his creativity and musical direction. Max has assembled a team of top-tier musicians for his debut album, 'Daggommit', due out February 21st. Uncover the exhilaration and challenges of recording fresh takes, and the excitement of documenting the contributions of lesser-known bluegrass musicians like Rudy Lyle. Max also talks about the beauty of imperfection and authenticity in live performances, a lesson crystallized by a compliment from banjo legend Béla Fleck. Throughout our conversation, we celebrate the unscripted magic of music and life, and the invaluable support from mentors and family that Max describes so vividly.
