Joe K. Walsh and Bruce Molsky: “Walk Along John to Kansas”

Exclusive Peghead Nation video of our mandolin and fiddle instructors playing a great old-time tune at Wintergrass 2022.

Among those gathered at Wintergrass 2022 earlier this year was a contingent of Peghead Nation’s talented instructors, including Joe K. Walsh, who was there with his band Mr Sun (Joe, fiddle legend Darol Anger, guitar master Grant Gordy, and jazz/roots bassist Aidan O’Donnell), and our Old-Time Fiddle and Old-Time Banjo instructor Bruce Molsky who was there playing a host of old-time and bluegrass power players, and celebrating the release of his excellent new guitar album, Everywhere You Go (Tiki Parlour Recordings) with a fun guitar set.

In this exclusive Peghead Nation video, Joe and Bruce took a moment in front of the fire to play the old-time tune “Walk Along  John to Kansas” (which Bruce recorded with John Reischman on John’s great album Walk Along John). Enjoy this fireside moment with two of the best.
