This Week's Podcast Episode

In this episode of the Music Festivals Podcast, I sit down with two true bluegrass legends—Jason Carter and Michael Cleveland—to talk about their brand new collaboration and the stories that have defined their unique journeys.

We get into their deep roots in bluegrass, experiences growing up in musical families, and how Michael adapted to becoming one of the most influential fiddlers despite significant challenges with blindness and hearing loss. Jason shares memories of joining the Del McCoury Band just four years after picking up the fiddle, and both reflect on their long-standing friendship and admiration for each other’s playing.

 

 

Festival Performance of the Week

This week's festival performance of the week really shows off Jason Carter's vocal chops.  The Travelin' McCoury's performance of  The Grateful Dead's "West L.A. Fadeaway" during their show at CaveFest 2024 was absolutely stellar.

The song, featuring lyrics by Robert Hunter and music by Jerry Garcia is a regular inclusion on The Travelers have included this track in their Grateful Ball performances, which showcase their bluegrass interpretations of classic Grateful Dead songs. The song was first performed in 1982 and has since become a fan favorite, characterized by its reflective lyrics and steady groove. I had the privilege of capturing this performance, which took place at The Caverns in Pelham, TN on October 13th, 2024.

Heyo Neighbors, I'm NeighborN8...

If you're here, we probably met at a festival. Or just maybe you heard about Music Festivals Podcast in the campground from your neighbors.  Maybe you were searching for deals on camping gear and found is that way, who knows?  However you landed on this website, I'm sure glad your here. 

We both ❤️ going to music festivals.  The people, the vibes, the music, the campfire jams, the vendors, the food, the party ... all of it.

But planning your experience can be a pain in the ass.  Some venues and producers put out a ton of content and information to help you.  But for whatever reason, most don't.
