Description
We are super excited this week to have Leftover Salmon banjoy player Andy Thorn as our guest on No Simple Road.
Andy never expected to go viral. But in 2021, he was in his backyard, playing an improvised banjo tune to a wild fox, when his wife caught the whole thing on video. The video made headlines around the world. Soon, Andy was interviewed on the Kelly Clarkson Show and A & E’s Neighborhood Wars. Even NPR’s Political Gabfest discussed the video. A New York Times writer called it “a moment plucked from Aesop.”
We talk with Andy about:
Why he picked up the banjo at age 13.
How spending his time wisely during lockdown created so many beautiful things.
The ways he's seen the Bluegrass scene grow and change over the years.
Does Andy think that Bluegrass can sustain shows in stadiums?
How Mayor McCheese started touring with Leftover Salmon.
His perspective on playing with a band he used to go see.
What it was like for him to play music in France.
How he and' Foxy' became friends.
His experience playing Salmon Fest.
... and a whole lot more!
