Andy Reiner

Even though Andy Reiner was born in Fiddle Hell, the long-standing fiddle camp his family has been running for many years, he‘s become a guardian angel of progressive string playing, embracing all things groovy with his wide-ranging command of everything from bluegrass and celtic playing to metal and funk. A true multiverse musician, we talk about all of the above and then we quiz the host of The River so Suck podcast on the real River Suck in Ireland. Hilarity ensues.

For the Greater Groove: The Future of Strings is a collection of chats/jams with some of the leaders in the progressive string playing community. The focus is on grooving and playing rhythm strings, like rhythm guitar. Grooving is the crucial entry point into our popular musical culture and something virtually ignored in traditional classical training. Besides chatting about grooving and related issues, and anything else my guests want to chat about, many shows include a ”Groove Hacker” segment in which we take a groove from a recording and recreate it on strings. And every show ends with a segment called called ”Not My Gig”, a 3 question trivia quiz on a subject the I’m hoping my guest knows nothing about. https://www.tracysilverman.com https://www.strumbowing.com
