Bet On Love
by Pharis & Jason Romero
Just like the banjos they build together, this music overflows at once with joy and an honest cry.

Ain't Nothin' But A Thing
by Grits & Gravy Stringband
This is the album of the summer for me! Their 'Shady Grove' could play on repeat all day long.

Old Light: Songs from my Childhood & Other Gone Worlds
by Rayna Gellert
Not only is Rayna the most inspiring modern fiddler I know of, her voice is comforting and her perspective is fresh. Also working out the tunes from her workshops give me months of free self-therapy!

Long Time To Be Gone
by Nora Brown
supported by 5 fans who also own “Speed of the Plow”
I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals).

Wealth of Sorrow
by Cahalen Morrison
Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless.
