Podcast 166: Billy Strings and an IBMA World of Bluegrass Preview

Published: Sept. 15, 2017, 12:25 a.m.

This week\u2019s podcast is a bluegrass double-header. First, we talk to the one-and-only Billy Strings. He\u2019s about to release his first solo album, Turmoil & Tinfoil and we talk about the making of the record, his guitars of choice (he recently switched from his Noble dreadnought to guitars made by Preston Thompson) and a lot more. Over on fretboardjournal.com, you can hear a stream of \u201cPyramid Country\u201d from the new album right now.

Next up, we talk to the IBMA\u2019s Paul Schiminger about the organization\u2019s mission, it\u2019s annual World of Bluegrass festival (happening later this month) and the future of bluegrass.

This episode is sponsored by Retrofret and Dying Breed Music. Check out their offerings and tell them the Fretboard Journal sent you.

Next week, we talk to fingerstyle guitar legend Michael Gulezian!
