Episode 2, Tuesday, June 1, 2021

Tim Weed is an exceptional musician who has mastered numerous stringed instruments — from guitar to 5-string banjo and mandolin. For the past four decades he has been a touring and recording artist. His latest project, Light and Dark, consists of two original compositions for banjo and 82 piece orchestra. It was performed and recorded with the Prague Metropolitan Orchestra in 2019.

I spoke with Tim about his daily approach to music, the importance of understanding and overcoming fear, his lifelong journey to master various musical styles, and how a broken mandolin found by the side of the road opened a creative door.
