My guest this week is Noam Pikelny.Noam is probably best known as a member of Punch Brothers, but he joins me this week to talk about his new project, Mighty Poplar.He’s joined in this band by fellow Punch Brother Chris Eldridge and former Punch Brother Greg Garrison, as well as Andrew Marlin of Watchhouse and Alex Hargraves, fiddle player with Billy Strings.We chat about how the band came together, the inspiration they took from the Bluegrass Album Band and where their name came from, plus much more.I loved this conversation, I hope you do too!Links to all things Mighty PoplarMighty Poplar on Spotify Mighty Poplar website, Instagram and Facebook Support the show===- Sign up to get updates on new episodes - Free fiddle tune chord sheets- Here's a list of all the Bluegrass Jam Along interviews- Follow Bluegrass Jam Along for regular updates: Instagram Facebook - Review us on Apple Podcasts
