Episode 59: Lucas Pasley (First Hand Tunes)

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! I’m really excited for you to hear my interview with this week’s friend, Lucas Pasley, because Lucas has a real, personal connection to this music, and it’s rare to interview someone who studied so close to the source. Also joining us is Kilby Spencer on guitar, who’s been on the show a few times before; he’s the one who set me up with a whole bunch of interviews, including this one, and hosted me when I came down to Crumpler, NC last spring. Thanks again, Kilby! Make sure to stick around after the interview to hear about Lucas’ new album and find out how to support Get Up in the Cool and get access to exclusive bonus content. Here’s my jam and chat with Lucas Pasley; enjoy!
