Jerry Douglas celebrates Earl Scruggs' 100th Birthday

January 6th 2024 would have been Earl Scruggs' 100th birthday.I'm putting together a very special set of episodes to celebrate. As part of them I spoke to Jerry Douglas, who's organising a spectacular night of music at The Ryman on Earl's birthday to mark the occasion.This is a taster taken from a much longer chat I had with Jerry. We talked about putting the show together and why he wants to celebrate Earl. The full interview will be released in a couple of weeks, alongside lots of other guests sharing their memories of Earl and his music.Tickets for the Ryman show are on the Ryman's websiteTo live stream the entire show, sign up at Veeps.comHappy picking!Matt---- Sign up to get updates on new episodes- Free fiddle tune chord sheets- Here's a list of all the Bluegrass Jam Along interviews- Follow Bluegrass Jam Along for regular updates:InstagramFacebook Hosted on Acast.
