This week we feature Richie Stearns and Rosie Newton, a musical duo bringing to bear northern, southern, classical, old time, rock and other traditions on their tightly woven duet songs and tunes. Their new album, Nowhere in Time, showcases their careful listening to southern mountain old timers including George Pegram and the Carter Family, and their expansive creativity in song and on banjo, fiddle and guitar. The die was cast for Richie when as an eleven year old, he stumbled upon Pegram, a celebrated North Carolina banjo player and singer, at a fiddlers' convention in Union Grove, NC in 1971. Rosie grew up in a family that embraced folk, traditional, and classical music, and she feels she's benefitted from the training her mother, the respected cellist Abby Newton, encouraged. We hear Richie and Rosie's stories, their latest music, and the music of those who influenced them. Also on the show this week, some great fiddle tunes of years past, and new songs from The Sweetback Sisters, Billy Strings and more.
