Ron Block | Deering Live - Ep. 69

We're very excited to feature the longtime banjoist for Alison Kraus & Union Station, Ron Block, on Deering Live. When it comes to bluegrass banjo, Ron is simply one of the best in the business. His feel, tone, and timing drive the music that is rooted deeply in tradition but continues to push it into the future.
Ron has a new album coming out July 1st with Irish tenor banjo master Damien O'Kane called Banjophonics. We'll be talking about this album as well as digging deep into how he achieves his sound on the banjo.
Don't miss this episode of Deering Live. Listen to a true master of the 5-string bluegrass banjo play and talk about his style.

I saw Ron play with Alison Kraus and Union Station in Indy back in 2004. It was the best live show I’ve ever seen in my life! I have yet to be wowed like that at any live show since. All of them are world class musicians. Nice to hear some perspective on the banjo from one of the greats.
