Episode 53: Seth Swingle (Old Banjo Tunes in Rare Tunings)

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This is a very special episode of Get Up in the Cool, because my guest is Seth Swingle. We recorded this interview at Clifftop last year, very late in the festival. Seth was actually my eighth recording that week, so when he said he wanted to showcase solo banjo music in weird tunings, I said, so you mean I don’t have to learn any tunes? I can just sit and listen to you??? I was very excited. Tunes we’ll play Shortenin’ Bread Lost Gander Buck Creek Gals Grigsby’s Hornpipe Whoop ‘Em Up Cindy Rye Whiskey Bonus Track: Rebels’ Raid Buy Seth's new album: http://www.sethswingle.com/store/  RSVP to Seth's Old Time Banjo Workshop and Concert (Facebook event) Support Get Up in the Cool
