Episode 71: Joel Brown (Folk Punk, Crooked Tunes, and Community)

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friend is Joel Brown! This interview was recorded in August at Joel’s house in Portland, OR, when I was in town to see my family. We talked about how OT is the most punk-rock genre and our mutual love for crooked tunes. But mostly we connected about the unrivaled sense of community in OT music, a topic I’ve yet to get tired of. Oh, and we play some great, notey tunes.  Tunes we’ll play: Johnny Come Along Rats Gone to Rest Roses in the Morning Sally Johnson Poor Little Johnny’s Gone to War Hell on the Nine Mile Bonus Track: Crooks Brothers Breakdown Support Get Up in the Cool: https://www.patreon.com/getupinthecool  Listen to my other podcast, Think Outside the Box Set: https://boxset.website/Support Get Up in the Cool
