Join Deering Live hosts Jamie and David, alongside the wonderful Alison Brown as we announce the 2024 Steve Martin Banjo Prize recipients!
This episode of Deering Live is presented by Compass Records, the Freshgrass Foundation, and The Steve Martin Charitable Foundation.
Introducing the new Goodtime Deco Series, a stunning tribute to the vibrant American Art Deco design movement of the 1920s when the banjo reigned as America's most beloved instrument.
Learning how to play the banjo is no different. There are different types of banjos and plenty of new terminology for parts of banjos and playing styles. Aspiring players also wonder what makes one banjo better than another.
Watch and listen to Deering artists play our banjos and choose your favorite tone!
LOL… I posted too soon. I didn’t realize they included the Allison’s Celtic video after her interview. By the way, I don’t think she tuned down the banjo, it has a 6th string that is a low drone string.
Both well deserved, Trey as a fellow North Carolinian you make NC proud.
I have a beautiful Left-handed Sara Tonga Star Tenbrook Banjo and a beautiful Rustic wreath Banjo as well sir. Warm greetings from N,Ireland.

Allison is not only a great clawhammer player, but she shares her knowledge through her lessons. Her teaching style is great for all levels. I have been fortunate to have Allison as a teacher at banjo camps, Caffee Lena online lessons, and recently signed up on Artist Works. An interesting side note, Allison has preformed and taught clawhammer for celtic music. There is an excellent youtube with Q. Bachand. https://youtu.be/E-uuczw46HQ?si=Ox24QMy6mXgUVNU2 .
Awesome music from two deserving winners!
