You can binge on Bluegrass music filled with banjo, fiddle and guitars jamming at the Huck Finn Jubilee: California's Jam and Bluegrass Festival showcasing some of the top names in the industry.
The Bluegrass band Lonesome Otis stopped by the KPBS studios this week to give us a sneak peek to some foot-stomping music.
You may be surprised to learn that San Diego is home to the largest manufacturer of banjos in the country. Greg Deering of Deering Banjo Company tells us the banjo is making a comeback and used in music ranging from country and bluegrass to rock and roll.
