Noam Pikelny interview on UKBluegrass.com

UKBluegrass.com has just published a lengthly post in which they interview banjo player Noam Pikelny. Noam was in the UK teaching at the Sore Fingers bluegrass instructional camp when they conducted the interview.

If you are interested in Noam’s participation with Chris Thile and the newly unveiled Tensions Mountain Boys, then this article is a must read. It contains the back story behind the band, the name, and the How To Grow A Band metamorphosis into the Tensions Mountain Boys.

It’s a great interview and well written. I encourage you to read it.
