  • Summary

  • Stumbling upon a dusty mandolin in an antique store wasn't just a chance encounter for Ryan—it was the spark that ignited a passion for bluegrass music. Join us as we recount the fascinating journey of The Tuesday String Band, musicians who transitioned from the world of jazz music and outdoor rehearsals at Western Oregon University to the vibrant and inclusive community of bluegrass music. Embracing the soulful sounds of acoustic instruments, they found a new musical identity. Our discussion also shines a light on the communal spirit of bluegrass, a genre that defies the often elitist environments found in university jazz settings. Inspired by contemporary artists like Billy Strings, Gage, Mason, and Ryan explore how bluegrass seamlessly blends with other genres, giving rise to innovative sub-genres. They share their experiences and what it has been like for them building community, highlighting their weekly residency at Gilgamesh Brewing, where audience engagement, humor, and personal interaction became key to creating memorable performances. Finally, we reflect on the transformative power of music in personal growth and career fulfillment. In a world often driven by societal pressures and outdated notions of success, embracing music as a career path is both a bold and rewarding journey. We're lucky to have folks like this forging ahead to make a name for themselves!
