Explore every episode of the podcast Five String Holler

Welcome to the very first episode of Five String Holler! To kick things off, I sat down with one of my biggest influences and a true standout in the banjo world, Brent Amburgey. Known for his work with Fastlane and the classic “Tina at the Teardrop Inn,” Brent has spent years shaping the sound of modern bluegrass with his driving style and unmistakable tone.

In this episode, we talk about his journey, the music, the stories behind the songs, and what it really takes to become the kind of player others look up to. More than that, Brent is just a good, honest man—and it shows in everything he does. If you love banjo, bluegrass, or just good conversation from the heart of Eastern Kentucky, this one’s for you.
