Listen "Episode 5 - Grassy Strings"
Episode Synopsis
Number 5 is a new artist for Port Fairy, Grassy Strings! A relatively new bluegrass duo, born from a country not known for this genre, we learn about how they tell us how they discovered the history and fell in love with the artists that are the key purveyors of the music they are now performing all around the world. We hear about how they have developed their musical skills as children, and about their first experience in Australia and the challenges keeping their instruments safely on planes, trains and automobiles. They reflect on their experiences at other festivals around the world, and tell us what they’re looking forward to ahead of their second Australian tour next March. We can’t wait to have Grassy Strings on the stages of Port Fairy in 2025.
