Hosts: Tim Batts & Josh Williams
Guest: Greg Cahill (Special Consensus)
In this episode, Josh digs deep into bluegrass history with an old Stanley Brothers classic that reminds us why their sound still defines traditional bluegrass today. Then, we’re joined by one of the genre’s true legends — Greg Cahill, founder and banjo player of Special Consensus.
Greg reflects on the band’s incredible 50-year journey, from their beginnings in Chicago’s bluegrass scene to touring the world and earning GRAMMY nominations. We talk about the group’s evolution, how they’ve stayed true to their roots, and what’s next for this long-running bluegrass institution.
