Adam N. from Lexington, Kentucky

When I was younger my music taste was really specific because I was training in classical ballet so like all I literally listen to was classical music all the time and was obsessed with it and my parents whenever where my dad specifically whenever we would like to have a big car ride, he’s from Georgia and he’s been playing guitar since he was really young so he would play just like so much bluegrass for us and it wasn’t really appealing for a young child like myself who also who you know was obsessed with like Rimsky-Korsakov. But when I left home and for ballet and for school and what not I would like to start listening to bluegrass again and like John Prine and I really relate to them in a big way because I think there’s a lot of like some really incredible social justice momentum because of like that that was caused by a lot of of those bluegrass singers that were like singing to what they knew like anti-war pro union in those kind of things and so I really really love it now and I started playing guitar so now my dad and I will play guitar together back home and talk about Bluegrass music now that it’s kind of more something I know. And now it is so nostalgic and comfortable for me because he raised me on that.
