My guest this week is Kaden Hurst. Kaden plays mandolin with Never Come Down, who have a brand new album coming out on June 7th. Kaden Hurst grew up in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California, where he began his musical education in both western classical music and american and scottish fiddle music. Kaden holds a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Mandolin Performance from Regis University in Denver Colorado, where he studied under 2016 National Mandolin Champion Jordan Ramsey. As a performer and composer, Kaden takes influence from the natural world and folk music from the Americas.\nAs a teacher, Kaden\u2019s approach incorporates a deep knowledge of mandolin technique and history, the music theory and musicology underlying american folk music, and empathy for students at any level of mandolin knowledge.\nKaden currently works as a music teacher and performer based out of Portland Oregon. His interests include the intermingling of folk and art musics, juggling, and the unreasonably compelling nature of fiddle tunes.\nHead over to Never Come Down\u2019s website HERE to follow along an presave their new music and also head over to Kaden\u2019s website HERE to sign up for some lessons!
