  • Jim Shumate and the Development of Bluegrass Fiddling
    JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING A Thesis by NATALYA WEINSTEIN MILLER Submitted to the Graduate School Appalachian State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2018 Center for Appalachian Studies JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING A Thesis by NATALYA WEINSTEIN MILLER May 2018 APPROVED BY: Sandra L. Ballard Chairperson, Thesis Committee Gary R. Boye Member, Thesis Committee David H. Wood Member, Thesis Committee William R. Schumann Director, Center for Appalachian Studies Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Natalya Weinstein Miller 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING Natalya Weinstein Miller, B.A., University of Massachusetts M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Sandra L. Ballard Born and raised on Chestnut Mountain in Wilkes County, North Carolina, James “Jim” Shumate (1921-2013) was a pioneering bluegrass fiddler. His position at the inception of bluegrass places him as a significant yet understudied musician. Shumate was a stylistic co-creator of bluegrass fiddling, synthesizing a variety of existing styles into the developing genre during his time performing with some of the top names in bluegrass in the 1940s, including Bill Monroe in 1945 and Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs in 1948. While the "big bang" of bluegrass is considered to be in 1946, many elements of the bluegrass fiddle style were present in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys prior to 1945. Jim Shumate’s innovative playing demonstrated characteristics of this emerging style, such as sliding double-stops (fingering notes on two strings at once) and syncopated, bluesy runs.

  • GRASS CLIPPINGS Volume 18 Issue 2 June 2013/July 2013
    DESERT BLUEGRASS ASSOCIATION GRASS CLIPPINGS Volume 18 Issue 2 June 2013/July 2013 Editor’s Note: The following article is reprinted with permission from Desert Leaf Magazine (Vol. 27, No. 4, Apr. 2013, pp 41-43.). The article was written by Karen Smith, a local freelance writer. BLUEGRASS IN THE DESERT by Karen Smith When you think about Tucson, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Believe it or not, for lots of people the answer is bluegrass music! Like our gorgeous sunsets and stately saguaros, bluegrass is a major part of the personality of southern Arizona. How bluegrass became so popular in Tucson is a mystery today. From the oldest bluegrass songs and melodies, we know that early English, Scottish and Irish settlers brought their instruments to America and played the tunes of their native countries. Banjos, fiddles and mandolins were part of their immigration journey. In some cases, washtubs and washboards, and even spoons became part of their sound. The term “bluegrass” specifically refers to the genre of music that evolved from this immigrant music and was championed in the 1940s by American musician Bill Monroe (1911-1996) and his band, Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys, named for Monroe’s home state of Kentucky. In a bluegrass band, traditionally one or more instruments carry the melody, and then each of the instruments, individually, takes a turn playing the melody, with improvisations. These are called breakdowns, and the best of them feature musicians playing faster than water drops dancing on a hot griddle. The breakdown portions of bluegrass songs encourage musicians to develop speed and improvisational skills.

  • Bluegrass Today
    That Was Then – Springfield Exit David Morris | February 18, 2015 | 2 Comments One of my biggest gripes as a lover of bluegrass music is to hear terrific picking and singing on a CD only to hear that the band in question can’t replicate that sound – or even come close – on the stage. Such bands would do themselves – and their fans – a great service by listening to Springfield Exit’s exquisite CD, That Was Then, and following its lead. There are no triple fiddles, no over- the-top production, no all-star pickers standing in for the band’s regular members. Just top-notch musicianship and sublime harmonies across the board. Of course, Springfield Exit isn’t just any band. The marriage of three former members of the Johnson Mountain Boys and two from the much-loved Virginia band, Appalachian Trail, makes for some great listening. Each instrument is played with authority, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise from a unit that features a three-time IBMA banjo player of the year (Tom Adams), four-time bass player of the year (Marshall Wilborn) and a guy who masters just about anything with strings (David McLaughlin). And don’t overlook some fine rhythm guitar work from David Lay. But the real highlight here is the singing, especially the lead vocals of Linda Lay. She doesn’t have the following of those who are regularly nominated for awards, but she certainly has the chops. She sings with comfort and authority across a range of musical styles, sliding from tender ballad to growling blues with ease.

Definitely con- temporary grass, nothing Rose in the Tall Grass: Elise Bright (fiddle), Russell Holley-Hart (mando), Tony Kamel (guitar), Lenny Nichols (bass), traditional here. Following Greg Lowery (dobro), Lyndal Cannon (banjo) in the Nickel Creek/Union Station vein, this collection of originals is full of rhyth- mic punches; time and me- ter shifts, which are com- monplace among today’s top groups. Their vocal har- monies are stellar. “Easy To Love” (Tr 3) has a nice Celtic 6/8 feel. Other songs have a swing feel (“Between Mid- night and the Dawn” Tr 4), a ballad (“Natural Disaster” Tr 6) and rocking acous- tic country groove (“Long Shot” Tr 12).
