Live From Bonnaroo: Abigail Washburn

Day one of Bonnaroo proved to be quite interesting when we got on the Ferris wheel with Abigail Washburn. Known for her interesting and expletive-laden stories, she offered us an account of her experiences at a United Kingdom airport involving a Filipino restaurant employee, an interestingly-named hamburger and her first encounter with Angry Birds. Check out our time with her below....  read more

Catching Up with... Abigail Washburn

The first sound you hear on City of Refuge is not Abigail Washburn’s delicate clawhammer banjo or her tender, aching voice. Instead, her second solo album begins with the sound of laughing and playing children—they were left homeless by a massive earthquake in the Sichuan Province of China.  read more

Abigail Washburn: City of Refuge

Abigail Washburn may have married the country’s foremost banjo star in 2009, but don’t call her Mrs. Béla Fleck. Having spent the past half-decade dividing her attention between the Sparrow Quartet and Uncle Earl, she steps out on her own with City of Refuge, her second solo album and finest effort to date. City of Refuge rolls a number of rustic traditions into its eleven tracks, which celebrate the roots of folk and bluegrass without sacrificing Washburn’s crossover appeal. An Illinois native, she approaches Appalachian music from an outsider’s perspective, adopting some of its traditions while also throwing orchestral strings,...  read more

For her upcoming album, City of Refuge (due Aug. 31 on Foreign Children Records), Washburn is in the spotlight, but some of her more musical friends—including The Decemberists’ Chris Funk and Carl Broemel of My Morning Jacket—contributed to the album, which was produced by Tucker Martine (Sufjan Stevens, Spoon)....  read more

Five Reasons Why Globalization Rocks

The world is getting smaller. We're increasingly more connected to folks around the world and have broader access to other cultures' news and arts than ever before. We at Paste are continually excited as global collaborations in the vein of Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mombazo's Graceland seem to be springing up every day. Some are made possible by the ease of modern travel, others by the infinite potential for exploration in the internet's music library and the growing bandwidth that allows musicians to telecommute across continents, laying down synth in Brooklyn and drumbeats in Bangkok. Here's a list that...  read more

Classic Paste: The Best of Issues 16-18 (June - November 2005)

(JUST A FEW MORE REASONS TO HELP SAVE PASTE)Next week, I'll celebrate my 6th anniversary at this magazine. When I started as Paste's second-ever intern on June 1, 2003, we were still a tiny operation. Only five of us were in the office full-time: publisher Nick Purdy, editor Josh Jackson, assistant editor Jason Killingsworth, myself (who would go on to become associate editor) and my intern cohort, Steven Bevilaqua. Other important folks—like senior/film editor and future Paste president Tim Porter, design director José Reyes, and future associate publisher Joe Kirk—were working part-time, since Paste couldn't yet support a full staff. Back then, we were in our...  read more
