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 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.
Love how the first song kicked off is Three Fingered Jacked by Blue Highway written by my cousin (Shawn Lane) who is playing the mandolin!

What's the title of the song the three girls are singing (so beautifully) (at 3:07 and 3:20)?
