Episode 78: Matt Brown (Fiddler! Educator! Producer!)

Welcome to Get Up in the Cool: Old Time Music with Cameron DeWhitt and Friends! This week’s friend is Matt Brown: old time fiddler, educator, and producer! I’m going to cut to the chase: I’m releasing this now because Matt Brown produced a wonderful new album called On Big Shoulders, and there’s a kickstarter! I’m hoping that after listening to our interview and jam, you’ll be convinced that On Big Shoulders is something worth checking out and supporting.  On Big Shoulders Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mattbrownsdream/debut-on-big-shoulders-album-celebrates-chicagos-m On Big Shoulders Website: https://www.onbigshoulders.com/ Matt Brown’s Website: http://www.brownsdream.us/ Tunes We’ll Play: Fire on the Mountain Lone Prairie Polly Put the Kettle On Piney Woods Gal The  Hog Went Through the Fence Bonus Track: Kennedy RagSupport Get Up in the Cool
