ArtsFuse.org Fundraiser Show - "The Fusical"

The Arts Fuse is an online arts magazine covering events in the New England area. They asked me to submit three songs for this fundraiser video, and I did. There's a couple of other musicians on it whom you might also appreciate.

Last month they did a short music review and interview with me, which you can read here:

😂😂😂. I do gutter work in Memphis and when I'm out at jobs I listen to traditional artists from pandora on my phone. Sometimes a homeowner will come out and hear it and make some hillbilly joke of some form. It's amazing to me that in 2020 such a rich musical culture is still relegated to a "grandpa jones" image in people's minds

The worst is when they pull out their phone and show you some dreadful Steve Martin video with 10 million views... 🤢🤮

Man.. I've never taken part in any festivals or other music scenes but. But the part about the "old time" scene isn't that much different from how everyday people perceive the music I play. Anytime I play for someone they are either referencing some hit bluegrass album that I should listen to, or telling me I should get together with their Scruggs style banjo playing friend or relative. Bluegrass is the closest thing to traditional that 99 percent of people I encounter know and this is in rural Tennessee. I guess that's where I would have been too if I hadn't of sought players like you and older recordings out myself.
