Summary
Today on our program, we're delighted to release the first episode of Season 3, which will consist entirely of single stories. In this story, we dive into the life of renowned songwriter, riverboat pilot, folklorist, song collector, music historian, accomplished fiddler and banjoist, clog & shuffle dancer, storyteller and consummate entertainer John Hartford. One of the most brilliant yet lesser-known musicians of the last century, John was the main player in redefining Bluegrass and American roots music for future generations, the unofficial father of "newgrass", who had a life that was anything but ordinary.
