Podcast 479: Woody Platt

Bluegrass musician Woody Platt joins us this week to talk about
his new solo album, 'Far Away With You' (Compass Records).

Woody is best known as the former frontman and cofounder of Steep
Canyon Rangers. In 2022, after countless shows with SCR and
backing Steve Martin on-stage, Platt stepped down from the band
to be closer to home. These days, he's busier than ever: In
addition to playing, he's dabbled in real estate, worked as a fly
fish guide, and spearheaded several music camps (including Bryan
Sutton's Blue Ridge Guitar Camp).

For this week's podcast, we talk about Woody's home state of NC
in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, his return to making
bluegrass, his ever-growing music camp empire, plus a lot more.
