Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friends are Kristina Gaddy and Pete Ross. We recorded at their home about a month ago when I was in town to play the Baltimore Square Dance. A few notes about this episode: I’m playing guitar because it made the most sense for Pete to play banjo in this one. Also, I added the explicit tag to the episode description because there is some coarse language used in a moment of pure, earnest enthusiasm.

Episode 26: Bertram Levy (Pioneer of Melodic Clawhammer Banjo)

Cameron DeWhitt — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 00:00:00 -0800

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friend is one of the first people I met at my first ever Clifftop, melodic clawhammer banjoist Bertram Levy. We recorded this late in the week at the Keith McManus tent, so there’s a lot of background noise, but I think it makes a nice, bustling ambiance for our competing bum-diddies. And trigger warning: this episode is all banjo duets.

Jody Kruskal is definitely one of my favorite people to play with; when I’m wandering around at night at the festivals I listen for that unique quality that only jams with concertinas can have; it’s like you meeting a german hiker on the appalachian trail; foreign but compatible.

Episode 1: Brad Kolodner (New Takes on Old Tunes)

Cameron DeWhitt — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 00:00:00 -0700

Part One in the "Baltimore Boys" series, wherein I jam with the friends (and tenants) of Brad Kolodner. We discuss growing up in the household of hammered-dulcimer titan, Ken Kolodner, and play some of their best modern takes on traditional tunes. This episode features three clawhammer banjo duets, which you don't hear everyday (hopefully). There's an exciting tension to these recordings; lining up bum-diddies (the basic clawhammer stroke) is no easy task. But I think we made something special, and I hope you agree. Also, I found out Brad's a straight-up DJ! Dude's pro in an interview; I've got a lot to learn.

Recorded at Brad's Place in 2016
