The IBMA Award winning podcast for anyone and everyone who loves bluegrass.
Free fiddle tune backing tracks and interviews with amazing people from the world of bluegrass.
For every tune we give you four brand new tracks:
- Backup 4 times through (you play the tune or improvise breaks)
- Tune 4 times through (you play backup)
- ‘Jam Along’ (4 complete run throughs, alternating backup and tune)
- Full performance
