COURSE TRAILER
"A deep dive into the sounds and techniques of three great masters and an explanation of the influence they had on me and all Dobro players that came after."
BEECHER KIRBY
JOSH GRAVES
MIKE AULDRIDGE
THE PIONEER
Beecher Kirby (Brother Oswald) learned the Hawaiian guitar techniques of slides, slants, harmonics and trills and applied them to String Band music with Roy Acuff.
Kirby was prominently featured during Acuff's Opry appearances and his pioneering playing brought the exciting sound of the Dobro into the national consciousness.
THE INNOVATOR
(Uncle) Josh Graves was given a formidable task: compete with Earl Scruggs' virtuosic banjo rolls & become a unique solo voice in one of the greatest Bluegrass bands ever.
Much of what we consider the Bluegrass Dobro vocabulary started out with Josh and his clever and musical applications of the Dobro sound. A true innovator that defined the role of the Dobro in Bluegrass.
THE VISIONARY
Mike Auldridge took the next major leap forward with the Dobro. He began playing and writing non-Bluegrass tunes and his band, the legendary Seldom Scene, had their own unique take on the standard repertoire.
Mike showed us all that the Dobro had a place in any genre of music, a perspective I have adopted since first hearing him.
