Ben Weiss of Pixie and the Partygrass Boys is the latest guest on Roots Music Rambler. Jason Falls asks him how a group of jazz musicians became a bluegrass band and how the genres are both similar and different. He said, “The spirit of jazz and bluegrass is improvisation,” and explains how the two genres meet quite profoundly.
He also explained the bluegrass scene in the band’s native Utah, which has been jump-started by Kentuckian Amanda Grapes, the band’s fiddle player.

Welcome to Roots Music Rambler!
Hosted by Francesca Folinazzo & Jason Falls. Roots Music Rambler, a podcast exploration of the where as much as the who or what. We’ll interview emerging and established artists, fans and others in Americana, Outlaw Country, Bluegrass, Blues, Roots, Soul, World and beyond. But we will always get to the stories of where they’re from and how that impacted the music we know and love.
It’s more than just their influences. It’s their families. Communities. Cultures. This show is a fun combination of music, travel, history and more. We dig into the stories from artists, musicians, songwriters, producers, fans and beyond, that don’t just expose their musical influences, but their life influences.
Music follows the path of human movement. We trace the steps to bring better understanding to what we hear today and why we love it.
