My guest this week on the podcast is Skip Gorman. Skip Gorman was introduced to traditional music early in his life at the age of eight, when he received his first guitar and a Jimmie Rodgers record. While growing up he was lucky to have the opportunity to see musicians like the legendary Texas fiddler, Eck Robertson, Bill Monroe and Maybelle Carter at the historic Newport Folk Festival. An encounter with Monroe at age fouteen was a pivotal moment in the young musician's life, and aside from being a masterful cowboy singer and fine fiddler, Gorman is one of the premier mandolinists in the style of Bill Monroe.

Skip has just uploaded 13 full albums on Bandcamp for the first time….and they really are great stuff! Head over to Bandcamp now to check out some tunes and pick yourself up a copy or 13!
