9:30AM – Teri Quinn joins us in the studio as a Real! Live! Guest! A Northern girl with a Southern heart living in the Mid-West, Teri Quinn writes songs that are sweet yet savory. With her clawhammer banjo playing and stylized guitar picking, she mixes an old fashioned sound with a modern luster. Teri will stick around to join our next guest, Jason Beers, in a clawhammer banjo duet just before his interview at 10:15.
10:15AM brings the multi-talented Jason Beers into the studio to play some live music and tell us all about his new record, Retrouvaille.
Jason Beers is a Kansas City, Kansas native. He’s been playing for well over 30 years. Primarily a bass player, in acts such as The Brannock Device, Dead Voices, Scott Hrabko, occasionally Freight Train Rabbit Killer, and many more, Jason Beers also plays solo clawhammer banjo gigs. Taking inspiration from old West Virginia mountain tunes, instrumental “new age” songwriters like Michael Hedges, and his peers at the Rural Grit Happy Hour, Jason creates a thick stew from all of these ingredients.
