74. Greg Garrison (Leftover Salmon)
My guest today is Leftover Salmon bassist, Greg Garrison. He was also a founding member of Punch Brothers, and has played alongside some of the best musicians in the bluegrass, jazz, and Americana worlds. His performance credits include: Lyle Lovett, Bill Frisell, Chris Thile, Bryan Sutton, Jerry Douglas, and Sam Bush.
I first met Greg as a student at CU Denver back in 2012. I was in my junior year as a jazz piano major, and Greg was filling in for a teacher who was out on sabbatical. He taught my jazz ensemble course and was such a great fit that he ended up staying on at CU Denver. He still teaches there today.
This episode is part 2/2 of our celebration of Leftover Salmon's new album, "Brand New Good Old Days" (May 7). Last week I chatted with founding member, Drew Emmitt. Greg was not just a band member on this record, but also the producer. In our conversation, we chat in depth about the making and production of this project. He also offers some insight on balancing teaching with performing, splitting up with the Punch Brothers, and what he learned about his instrument from playing with Lyle Lovett. To wrap up, Greg talks about current projects he's working on, including a newly released collaboration with Grant Gordy, Alez Hargreaves, and Joe K. Walsh entitled, "Bluegrass and the Abstract Truth."
