Get Up in the Cool

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friend is Jess McInstosh; we recorded this over Thanksgiving weekend in Chicago, the day after I recorded Charlie Walden. We played some of my very favorite tunes and Jess sang the best lyrics to cider I’ve ever heard, and she introduced me to Molly Ban, which is my new favorite trad song. Good music happened, is what I’m trying to say.

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friend is Joel Brown! This interview was recorded in August at Joel’s house in Portland, OR, when I was in town to see my family. We talked about how OT is the most punk-rock genre and our mutual love for crooked tunes. But mostly we connected about the unrivaled sense of community in OT music, a topic I’ve yet to get tired of. Oh, and we play some great, notey tunes.  Tunes we’ll play: Johnny Come Along Rats Gone to Rest Roses in the Morning Sally Johnson Poor Little Johnny’s Gone to War Hell on the Nine Mile Bonus Track: Crooks Brothers Breakdown Support Get Up in the Cool: https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecool  Listen to my other podcast, Think Outside the Box Set: https://boxset.website/

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!

We basically played a bunch of Old Time song chestnuts, and we had a blast.  Tunes we’ll play: Train on the Island Way Over Yonder in the Minor Key Katie Dear Walk Along John to Kansas Gospel Plow Bonus Track: The Strike Song from Pajala Six String Yada at the South Side Cavern in Stockholm: https://www.facebook.com/events/132744920703813/?acontext=%7B%22action_history%22%3A%22[%7B%5C%22surface%5C%22%3A%5C%22messaging%5C%22%2C%5C%22mechanism%5C%22%3A%5C%22attachment%5C%22%2C%5C%22extra_data%5C%22%3A%7B%7D%7D]%22%7D The Rockridge Brothers (Kristian Herner) http://rockridgebrothers.com/ https://www.facebook.com/rockridgebrothers/ Buy their albums: https://itunes.apple.com/se/artist/rockridge-brothers/id283781304 Six String Yada (Erling and Agnes) http://www.sixstringyada.com/ https://www.facebook.com/sixstringyada/ Buy their albums: http://www.sixstringyada.com/album/ Friendly Neighbourhood Stringband https://www.facebook.com/FriendlyNeighbourhoodStringband/ Bonefaas Banjos: http://www.johannesbonefaas.com/
