Podcast
Got 'grass? is our podcast, where I interview the leaders and legends of bluegrass.
My most recent conversation is with dobro great Rob Ickes. Rob talks at length about his 9 years playing with The Tony Rice Unit, his views on contemporary country music, how much he still feels he has to learn about playing the dobro, and much more. Always a treat to hear from Rob!
