About this episode
Banjo great Alison Brown joins us on this week's podcast to talk about her new album, On Banjo , and so much more. We chat about how she discovered bluegrass music while growing up in Southern California, her lifelong friendship with Stuart Duncan, the challenges of running a record label in 2023 (Alison and her husband run Compass Records), teaching, increasing the number of female banjo players, and a lot more.
