This week we are excited to feature award winning banjoist and Compass Records founder Alison Brown on Deering Live. In this episode Alison will demonstrate different ways to play blues tunes on the banjo with different soloing and comping ideas. We’ll also be talking about Alison’s new record that came out this past May called “On Banjo” and more! Be sure to tune in!
Watch Alison play her Deering Julie Belle banjo in the video below from a track that is featured on her new record "On Banjo"!
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!
I very much like this piece by Alison Brown. She plays the song so well and it brings back special memories! Thank you.
While I am still working on Waltzing With Tula, I would love to see a tab for this! Bishmore presented one years ago, but yours is outstanding!
I was lucky enough to hear this performed live at FreshGrass in Bentonville, AR recently. Also, my brother told me that he’d heard Waters of March on a Brazilian album. I looked it up on YouTube and – what a great song! I must have found a dozen versions by various performers, all great. Thanks for that, Alison. And for all the great banjo work.
Fabulous arrangement
Fabulous! Alison Brown is high in my pantheon of banjo gods… And this is absolutely lovely!
