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!
The Steve Martin Banjo Prize will be something special for the lucky winner. Steve Martin has been one of my favorite actors and musicians since a young age. Thank you Steve for the awesome giveaway. If I win, I will play and cherish your banjo for as long as I shall walk this earth, and after that it will be left to another musician with a love for the banjo.
I’d be rescued with a Deering Banjo at my side.
For Steve and Anne,
Thank you so much for shining a light on talented musicians who might not the same opportunities if you had not shared their music with the world.
Thanks, thanks and more thanks.
Love, Julie and Tom, parents of a banjo player
This clawhammer style ain’t easy…..but I’ll get it!
