from The Picky Fingers Banjo Podcast · host Keith Billik

www.patreon.com/banjopodcast Richard Bailey is best known as the long time banjoist and founding member of the amazing Grammy- and IBMA- award-winning band The SteelDrivers! But Richard's history as a Nashville banjo icon has led him to record and perform with some great bluegrass artists such as The Tennessee Gentlemen, Roland White, Rhonda Vincent, Jim Lauderdale, Vassar Clements, and other superstars like George Jones & Tammy Wynette, Kenny Rogers, Nanci Griffith, Kathy Chiavola  - and that's just a few of them! It's easy to understand why when you hear Richard's perfect blend of groove, drive, creativity, taste, and tone. It was an honor to speak with him about his background and career in banjo!
