In this week’s back-by-popular-demand re-broadcast, popular young bluegrass artist Billy Strings joins us (whether he’s performing as a solo artist or with his band, the reaction to Billy tends to come in two varieties: “Who is this guy?” and “That kid can play!”).
Also with us, the instrumental group known as the Jon Stickley Trio.
Plus, Nick chats with our eChievement Award winner of the week, a young man who’s founded a group that’s transforming abandoned paved urban areas into community gardens, parks, and more.
