My guest this week is Jack Hinshelwood.
Jack is a guitarist, fiddler, singer and winner of the Knoxville World’s Fair Guitar Championship, the Wayne Henderson Guitar Championship, and a two-time winner of the Galax Fiddler’s Convention guitar contest.
He joins me to chat about Doc at 100, a really special set of shows he's co-producing to celebrate what would have been Doc Watson's 100th birthday this year. The shows feature Doc's long time collaborators Jack Lawrence and T. Michael Coleman, plus guitar maker (and friend of Doc's) Wayne Henderson and co-producer Ted Olson, author of “Doc’s World: Traditional Plus,” the book that accompanies the 4 CD compilation by Craft Records called Doc Watson, Life’s Work: A Retrospective
There's a list of the shows here, including a very special show on Doc's actual birthday, where Doc at 100 guests at a Billy Strings show, alongside Bryan Sutton and Molly Tuttle. More shows will be added through the year so keep checking back to see if they're headed your way.
We also chat about Jack's record 50 Years in the Making and play a track from it at the end.
I've got some more exciting news to share about the 100th anniversary of Doc's birthday – more on that soon….
