🎙️ EPISODE 74 – A TOM T. HALL CLASSIC & CATCHING UP WITH FORMER SPECIAL C MEMBERS

In this week’s episode of The Hometown Bluegrass Show, Josh takes us on a trip down memory lane with a Tom T. Hall classic — a songwriter who captured the heart and humor of everyday life like no other.

Then, things get personal as Josh reconnects with two former Special Consensus bandmates — Jamie Clifton and Tim Dishman. Together they share stories from their days on the road, the lessons learned from the bluegrass circuit, and what they’ve been up to since their time with Special C. Expect laughter, great music, and behind-the-scenes insight into one of bluegrass music’s most respected touring bands.
