Episode 63: Hunter Walker (Dulcimer Ambassador)

Cameron DeWhitt — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 00:00:00 -0700

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends. This week’s friend is Hunter Walker from Long Point String Band, with special guest guitarist and also friend Brian Bell! Hunter plays the mountain dulcimer, an instrument I haven’t had much exposure to, so… I’m probably not qualified to say this, but I think he’s probably the best. I heard him play for the first time the night before we recorded this and I had an immediate, physically emotional reaction. The man’s music is breathtaking. And when it’s not breathtaking, it’s super fun and clever. I'm excited for you all to hear it!

Tunes we’ll play:
Hangman’s Reel
Shelvin’ Rock
Marlboro County
So Sang the Mountain
Maysville
Bonus track: Piney Woods

Cameron DeWhitt — Wed, 14 Jun 2017 00:00:00 -0700

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool, Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends. This week’s friend is one of my favorite flat-pickers, songwriters, and old time musicians, Ethan Hawkins. I met him at Mt. Airy a couple years ago, and immediately got a big ol’ crush on him. He’s a very good guitarist, with a dreamy voice, and he’s a very animated performer, so I’m really glad I got him on video. Oh, did I not mention that? Check out Get Up in the Cool's Facebook page and you'll find some videos from this episode.

Tunes we'll play:
Josie-O
New Harbor
How’s Your Family Been? (what’s the official title?)
Winderslide
Greasy Coat
Road to Malvern
Bonus Track: Grigsby’s Hornpipe
