This week my guest is BB Bowness! We chat about what it’s like being a professional bluegrass banjoist. How she got into banjo in New Zealand and got her first banjo from the United States.
How she approaches improvising, and playing with different artists as well as the driving force and focus of her band, Mile Twelve. She chats about how the band started in the beginning and has been going strong for the past 10 years. Doing planks and good posture to strengthen yourself for holding resonator banjo while playing. What fingerpicks and thumb picks she uses. Bluechip versus plastic thumb pick. Her 2 main banjos. Coming to the U.S for the first time. How to stay healthy and happy as a musician.
