Summary
In Episode 78, Josh kicks off the show with a timeless Michael Martin Murphey classic, “Carolina in the Pines,” showcasing one of the most beloved cross-genre gems that found its way into the bluegrass world. We’re also joined by a special guest and true ambassador of bluegrass music, Austin Scelzo from Connecticut. Austin is a fiddle player, educator, and organizer who has been instrumental in growing the Northeastern bluegrass community. We talk about his work with the Bluegrass Academy , his passion for teaching, and how he keeps traditional music thriving in a region not always associated with bluegrass.
