Jarrod Walker (Billy Strings) Interview

My guest this week is Jarrod Walker, best known to most of you as the mandolin player in Billy Strings' band.We chat about all sorts of stuff, including what Chris Thile taught him about learning fiddle tunes, how he almost ended up selling instruments for a living rather than playing them, the pros and cons of plugging in onstage and going from landscaping one day during the pandemic to playing a live streamed gig at Red Rocks the next.To connect with Jarrod and find out where you can catch a show, check out the links belowJarrod's FacebookJarrod's InstagramBilly Strings' websiteBilly's live shows on Nugs Hosted on Acast.
