Planet Bluegrass Podcast

Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Tim O'Brien made his first appearance at Telluride Bluegrass with the Ophelia Swing Band back in 1975. He's been an important part of Planet Bluegrass ever since, through performances with Hot Rize, the O'Boys, the Bluegrass Dukes, The Crossing, and now the Tim O'Brien Band. We sat down with Tim in March 2006 to talk about his long-overdue Grammy award, his favorite vegetarian recipes, and his upcoming performances at this year's Telluride Bluegrass and RockyGrass.

Singer-songwriter Stephen Kellogg blew us away last fall. Playing for a crowd of about 40 people, we were so moved that we ordered the Stephen Kellogg songbook, covered our walls in SK6ERS stickers, and booked him to play the 2006 Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Find out what the fuss will soon be about, as Stephen talks about songwriting, fatherhood, and his band's Martha Graham-inspired dance moves.
