Bluegrass at East Tennessee State University from String Theory Media on Vimeo.
Up in the hills of East Tennessee it's no surprise to find bluegrass musicians, but a university program dedicated to its practice and preservation is a surprise indeed. Last winter, ETSU's bluegrass program asked us to document and explain what it is, what it does, and how it shapes lives. I shot for three days in Johnson City Tenn. in April and produced this 9-minute profile of a unique and special institution. Its instructors are remarkable musicians and educators, and it was a huge pleasure to work with Raymond McLain, Karen Sullivan and co. If you aspire to playing or managing professionally, check this out.
