In the 7th episode of the Lonesome Banjo Chronicles podcast I talk with Pattie Hopkins Kinlaw, the fiddler for the up-and-coming band Hank, Pattie, and The Current

We talk about her passion for both learning and teaching music, how the Suzuki violin method works, what she's learned by traveling to Ireland, and of course about her new band gearing up for a busy summer of festivals.

As you'll hear, this was a fun conversation. Pattie is passionate, good natured, curious, and very well spoken. The music she's creating with her new band could quickly take them into the national spotlight--it's really that good.

We listen to 4 tracks from the new album:

Losing My Mind -- 12:47

Pipop -- 27:10

All I Remember -- 36:54

Sundown -- 43:14
