My guest this week is Callum Morton. Callum Morton is an up-and-coming acoustic instrumentalist with a drive to collaborate with some of the world's finest Americana musicians. Drawing inspiration from his studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and at East Tennessee State University, Callum has crafted a delightful showcase of original compositions for acoustic string-band ensembles. Callum is joined by a superlative roster of acoustic specialists; each lending their rich and thoughtful musicianship to lift the compositions to soaring heights.\n\xa0\nIn 2019 Callum achieved national recognition appearing on BBC Scotland\u2019s The Quay sessions with folk-fusion group, The Auldeners. Callum formed a Bluegrass band, The Fountaineers, during lockdown restrictions and quickly achieved an official virtual artist spot at the International Bluegrass Music Association\u2019s World of Bluegrass Ramble 2021. Callum appeared with this Bluegrass outfit performing at several landmark Bluegrass music festivals across Europe in 2022 including La Roche, France.\n\xa0\nCallum is quickly becoming one of the rising talents in the UK Americana acoustic scene.
