Joe Mullins - Sites of Ohio's Musical Legacy: Antioch College [Behind The Scenes Documentary]
Description:
Watch the fourth in a series of videos with Joe Mullins discussing the influential sites of the story behind ‘Industrial Strength Bluegrass: Southwestern Ohio’s Musical Legacy,’ released March 26th on Smithsonian Folkways. Here, Mullins stands outside Kelly Hall at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where history was made in 1960 when the first bluegrass concert took place on a college campus — featuring performances by future Bluegrass Hall of Fame members Alice Gerrard, who was a student at the time, and The Osborne Brothers.

Industrial Strength Bluegrass celebrates the music that these migrants made and loved, and explores a pivotal moment in the history of bluegrass and country music at large. Produced by beloved performer and radio personality Joe Mullins, the collection features many modern legends like Lee Ann Womack and Mo Pitney, plus a stellar lineup of bluegrass stalwarts including Rhonda Vincent, Bobby Osborne, and Mullins himself, taking on tunes that have echoed across Ohio for decades. This group of some of the biggest names in bluegrass today pays tribute to the jubilant highs and lonesome lows of life amongst the factories and warehouses, reflecting the region’s rich culture and resilient people.
