If you know banjo, you know Tony Trischka (right). As one of the most influential pickers of the last 50 years, Trischka has followers throughout the bluegrass genre, from Béla Fleck to Steve Martin and Billy Strings. His latest project involves transcribing rare and unreleased Earl Scruggs’ recordings for a touring show he’s named EarlJam, during which Trischka tells Scruggs’ musical life story from childhood to the legendary three-finger player’s final years.
