  • John Mceuen Brings with Him 45+ Years of Worldwide Performing with His Banjo, fiddle, Guitar, and Mandolin
    John McEuen brings with him 45+ years of worldwide performing with his banjo, fiddle, guitar, and mandolin. Often referred to as 'the String Wizard', he weaves stories of his travels and family life (he has raised 7 kids), taking us through where his musical path has taken him. A founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 1966, John instigated the 1972 classic Will the Circle Be Unbroken album, (inducted in to the Library of Congress as 'one of America's most important recordings). He has earned Emmy nominations, Grammy Awards, CMA acclaim, The Western Heritage Award, and many other accolades can be found on his website: www.johnmceuen.com. Proud to be an integral part of the first American band to go to Russia (in 1977!), John's love of performing is evident when during his shows he takes us 'behind the curtain' of the music world that so many of us know of only as listeners, and shows us how we have all been a part of it, more than we may know. McEuen's XM radio show, Acoustic Traveller, is in its 6th year, and you can find his new Americana Music Show on Syndicatednews.net (of which he is CEO) As winner of the 2010 Best of the West Performer award from the Folk Alliance organization, John's show is sure to be one enjoyed by all. He also won Best Bluegrass Album Grammy that year for his production of The Crow - Steve Martin). John in June of 2013 was honored with the Charlie Poole Lifetime Achievement Award in North Carolina.

  • Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
    NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND With a refreshed lineup and newfound energy, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band remains one of the most accomplished bands in American roots music. Following an extended 50th anniversary tour, the ensemble grew to a six-piece in 2018 for the first time since their early jug band days. The group now includes Jeff Hanna (acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Jimmie Fadden (drums, harmonica), Bob Carpenter (keyboards), Jim Photoglo (bass, acoustic guitar), Ross Holmes (fiddle, mandolin), and Jaime Hanna (electric and acoustic guitar). All six members also sing, and when their voices merge, the harmonies add a powerful new component for the legendary band. And with the father-son pairing of Jeff and Jaime Hanna, the band carries on a country music tradition of blood harmony. Jeff Hanna says, “It’s like when you throw a couple of puppies into a pen with a bunch of old dogs. All of a sudden, the old dogs start playing, you know? That’s kind of what’s happened with us. The basic vibe is so up and positive, and the music– we’re hearing surprises from Jaime and Ross all night. And they’re encouraging us in the same way to take more chances. It’s opened a lot of doors for us, musically, and the morale is really great. That’s important for a band that’s been out there for over 53 years.” The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band played their first gig in 1966 in Southern California as a jug band and by 1969 had become a cornerstone of the burgeoning country-rock community.

  • Interview with JOHN MCEUEN Was Conducted by the Library of Congress on June 7, 2017
    This interview with JOHN MCEUEN was conducted by the Library of Congress on June 7, 2017 John McEuen Library of Congress: Thank you for the advance pages from your autobiography that you sent, specifically those pages related to the making of “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.” I was struck by many things. One of them, there seemed to be a divide at the time, between how you as a group were perceived—as long-haired hippies—and the Nashville establishment. Did you feel that? John McEuen: Well,…you know, Earl Scruggs, in 1969, appeared at a DC peace rally. Skeeter Davis had spoken out against the Vietnam War; it upset some people in country music. Various other country musicians were not all pro-Vietnam. Musicians were Republican and Democrat. But there was a chasm in the country that affected everyone. It was a time of mass confusion. Sort of like now! [Laughs.] But, it was noted by all that when we came together to record, politics did not enter the studio. Everyone was there for the music and the event of three generations making it. It was magic. I’m reminded of something that Mark Twain once said: “Politicians and diapers--you have the change them often and always for the same reason.” It still applies…. But “politics” are something different than “people.” And when you play an instrument, you don’t think, “This is only for a certain group of people.” The music on “Circle” was a reflection of hearkening back to different times and paying homage to what had come before.

  • Songs of William Blake,” Which Was Produced by John Mceuen, of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
    “A delightful surprise...terrific album” ROBERT SIEGEL, ALL THINGS CONSIDERED “In a brilliant collision of cultures, the powerful blues and soul singer Martha Redbone has recorded an album called “The Garden of Love: Songs of William Blake,” which was produced by John McEuen, of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. In it, the mystical, humanistic words of the eighteenth-century English poet are fused with the melodies, drones, and rhythms of the Appalachian string-band music that Redbone absorbed as a child from her grandparents, in Black Mountain, Kentucky.” THE NEW YORKER “Poised to be Americana's next superstar.” THE VILLAGE VOICE “Martha Redbone is a charismatic indie-soul diva whose sound is a just-right mix of retro and modern.” TIMEOUT NEW YORK “This woman is a true original; the kind of artist who sets trends, as opposed to following them.” BILLBOARD MAGAZINE “A truly hypnotic and eloquent roots Americana exploration.” ALLMUSIC GUIDE “A perfect slice of Americana.” NO DEPRESSION “An organic, gorgeous feast for ears and mind.” DUSTY WRIGHT, HUFFINGTON POST Martha Redbone Roots Project transforms the words of William Blake into modern American music | Concert Preview | Chicago Reader MUSIC | CONCERT PREVIEW June 29, 2018 Martha Redbone Roots Project transforms the words of William Blake into modern American music By Jamie Ludwig @unlistenmusic f you were looking for compelling source material for an album of 21st-century Americana, you might not start with poems written in England at the tail end of the 18th century.

(and pictures, of course) Posted on August 3, 2015 by oaddeh That’s a slightly more exaggerated recounting of how I felt on Friday. How did two and a half months go by? Did someone push me into a time machine while I wasn’t looking? I think I understand how Squidward feels now. But, speaking of the future, I feel like this program has set me in a good place as I continue into mine. No matter how much I think I know about grad school, I learned even more here. I now have a better idea about what qualities to seek while looking for HCI programs. I love how interdisciplinary and applicable HCI can be. This summer has even helped me clear up what I want to study, at least for this upcoming year (honors thesis, yeah!). I’m actually excited to start a literature review and think of creative testing methodologies. In other words, I side with Alex in that this has been one of the best summers ever. I loved how everyone had a different personality, but that we got along so well. (Props to Sarah for dealing with all of our spongebob quotes this summer although she secretly hates anthropomorphic sea-sponges. She took more One last spongebob reference for the road than one for the team; she took 20.) I love how we all supported each other. I would say that I’ll try to stay in touch, but I won’t. These last few days exercising have taught me some differences between try and do.
