Got 'Grass?
More than picks and strings, we explore the musical stories, the hopes and dreams, and some of the hard times, of life as a bluegrass star. You'll find them Insightful, often funny, sometimes discouraged, in other words, human! Hosted by Chris Wuerth from GuitartownCT concerts in Hamden, CT.
Got 'Grass?
Kristin Scott Benson
When Kristin joined The Grascals in 2008, she was the first woman to hold the banjo spot in a number one, festival headlining, male bluegrass band. She has since won IBMA Banjo Player of the Year seven times, and was awarded the Steve Martin Banjo Prize in 2018.
Married to mandolinist Wayne Benson, she continues, through her teaching, performing, recording, and advocacy, to be an eloquent and positive voice for bluegrass, and especially women in bluegrass. I loved talking with Kristin!!
