## Resource

In this episode, we kick things off with a look back at Josh’s recent trip overseas as he shares stories from touring Ireland with Southern Legacy. From the warm welcome of bluegrass fans across the pond to the unforgettable moments on stage, Josh gives us a glimpse into what it’s like bringing traditional American music to an international audience. We also take time to reflect on the life and legacy of Ronnie Bowman—a true giant in bluegrass music. Known for his powerful voice, heartfelt songwriting, and influence on the genre, Ronnie left a lasting mark that continues to inspire artists and fans alike. In a special tribute, Josh performs one of Ronnie’s most moving songs, “Three Rusty Nails,” delivering it with the sincerity and respect that honors Ronnie’s memory.
