What began as a blog for like-minded Los Angelenos pining for bluegrass in Southern California has morphed and grown over the greater part of a decade to become a national and international standard-bearer for all of the things we love about bluegrass within every branch and offshoot of the roots music family tree - from vibey pop-folk to ravishing alt-country; plus blues, singer/songwriter, Americana, old-time, and everything else above, below, and in-between.
From Nashville to London to Los Angeles, BGS brings modern, self-aware, and progressive sensibilities to the editorial, curatorial, and marketing needs of the world’s American roots music communities.
It’s really quite simple: BGS is Roots Culture Redefined.
Thank you!! This was a great interview John Cowan is releasing a biography on June the 4th, it would be wonderful if you could bring him on as a guest also!!
Nice version by Sarah and Aoife. I'm familiar with this song through the English folk singer Kate Rusby. I don't know the origins of the song i.e. whether it is indeed English or American / Canadian in origin.
Enlightening interview. Bela is always thoughtful and your questions really enhanced that quality. Especially stoked to hear that there is at least "some talk" of the Strength in Numbers guys maybe getting back together. Thanks for this episode!
My Best Regards from Poland !!! Loving You f o r e v e r ! ❤❤❤ Your songs helped to be, that kind of person I'd like to be : simple, generous and happy man ! 💘
Damn. At the end the playing was so fast and clean I had to make sure the video wasn't fast forwarded! I've never even heard of this guy, but that kicked ass.
This was a fun talk. Alison of course but Tom also a very pleasant and warm voice to listen to! Btw looking for those conversations with Sarah, Molly and Sierra? Were they podcasts or private?
@Tom...wouldn't the answer to your last question be that earlier remark.."Anything contrived is repelling"? I personally always feel that totally seems to sum up Alison Krauss as a person and as an artist as far as I can tell.
Allison is my absolute musical hero! I'm so glad there is now an extended interview with her. Thank you so much for this, I for one, appreciate this so much.
