  • Bronwyn Keith-Hynes - The Heart of Bluegrass
    Jan 31 2025
    What can a whirlwind wedding day and a Grammy nomination teach us about music and life? Join us as we chat with the phenomenal Bronwyn Keith Hynes, a Nashville-based bluegrass fiddler and singer, whose recent personal milestones offer us insight and inspiration. From an early morning ceremony at The Opry to a brunch reception with loved ones from around the world, Bronwyn's wedding was not only a joyous occasion but a testament to the bonds music can strengthen. She shares her thoughts on the surreal feeling of earning a Grammy nomination—a dream come true that seemed unreachable. Bronwyn's journey through music is nothing short of transformative, as she recounts her path from classical violin to embracing the vibrant world of bluegrass. Her experiences at Berklee College of Music were instrumental in building her career, meeting future bandmates, and navigating the challenges of musical genre transitions. Her experiences in Golden Highway have helped to emphasize the power of finding and staying true to one's unique musical path. Discover her insights on overcoming self-doubt, the supportive roles of mentors, and her transition into singing bolstered by guidance from Steven Mojan. We chat with Bronwyn about creating her album 'I Built a World' and what that experience taught her and she shares how it measured up to her expectations. Exploration doesn't stop with personal growth; it's about giving back too. Bronwyn passionately discusses empowering women in bluegrass and the renaissance of diverse sub-genres within the genre. She reflects on the value of authenticity, the allure of bluegrass's improvisational spirit, and the profound connections music fosters.

  • Max Wareham - Taking Musical Chances
    Jan 24 2025
    Discover the fascinating journey of musician Max Wareham as he transitions from jazz to bluegrass, uncovering a serendipitous family connection with legendary bluegrass artist Peter Rowan. Max’s tale is not just about finding lineage but also about the dedication and persistence required to learn from a master. We explore how Max's musical understanding transformed under Peter's mentorship, and why live performances became an essential element of his growth, teaching him the true essence of music. Max shares his unique relationship with the banjo and how an unexpected gift of this instrument led him to embrace its ethereal sound. Through a summer filled with bluegrass festivals and communal music-making, he experienced the joy of playing not to impress, but to share and connect with others. His story paints a vivid picture of the vibrant bluegrass community and the profound impact it had on his creativity and musical direction. Max has assembled a team of top-tier musicians for his debut album, 'Daggommit', due out February 21st. Uncover the exhilaration and challenges of recording fresh takes, and the excitement of documenting the contributions of lesser-known bluegrass musicians like Rudy Lyle. Max also talks about the beauty of imperfection and authenticity in live performances, a lesson crystallized by a compliment from banjo legend Béla Fleck. Throughout our conversation, we celebrate the unscripted magic of music and life, and the invaluable support from mentors and family that Max describes so vividly.
