#170 - Barry Abernathy
www.patreon.com/banjopodcast Barry Abernathy is one of the most respected banjoists of his generation! He is best known for his performances and recordings with such legendary award-winning bands like Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Mountain Heart, and Appalachian Road Show. One thing is clear: wherever Barry goes, hard-driving banjo playing and great singing follows, and all of this is on top of overcoming some physical limitations that probably would have stopped most banjo careers before they even began!

#168 - Richard Bailey
www.patreon.com/banjopodcast Richard Bailey is best known as the long time banjoist and founding member of the amazing Grammy- and IBMA- award-winning band The SteelDrivers! But Richard's history as a Nashville banjo icon has led him to record and perform with some great bluegrass artists such as The Tennessee Gentlemen, Roland White, Rhonda Vincent, Jim Lauderdale, Vassar Clements, and other superstars like George Jones & Tammy Wynette, Kenny Rogers, Nanci Griffith, Kathy Chiavola - and that's just a few of them! It's easy to understand why when you hear Richard's perfect blend of groove, drive, creativity, taste, and tone. It was an honor to speak with him about his background and career in banjo!

#167 - In Memoriam: Gabe Hirshfeld (Remix of Episode #105)
www.patreon.com/banjopodcast In tribute to Gabe Hirshfeld, who we lost in December 2025. Gabe will always be remembered for his amazing sense of humour, his kind and generous nature, and of course his myriad contributions to the banjo community as a talented player, setup technician, and all-around awesome nerdy guru. Consider a donation to the Gabe Hirshfeld Memorial Fund, administered by the Boston Bluegrass Union Original Notes: This episode features a long and winding banjo chat with Gabe Hirshfeld, a true gentleman and scholar. Gabe studied banjo at the Berklee College of Music, as well as some great mentors such as Mike Kropp and Ben Freed. He performed and recorded with The Lonely Heartstring Band, and now plays on a freelance basis and does setup work Contact the show: pickyfingersbanjopodcast@gmail.com
