Show Notes

From Bay Ridge to Blue Ridge! Mike ventures down to Charlotte, North Carolina and encounters a vibrant and welcoming bluegrass music community. Join us as he meets the incredible fiddle maker Brad Robinson and talks fiddles, life, and dogs. We join a jam circle, chat with jammers, and find out about the Charlotte Folk Society. We drop by The Violin Shoppe and spend time with Glen Alexander, co-owner and champion fiddler.
