Planetary Music Project
Web Series
The Planetary Music Project idea came about when Jefferson Glassie interviewed Tara Linhardt for the Planetary Gig Talk podcast. Tara is a well known Bluegrass musician, who has spent a lot of time in Nepal and co-produced a documentary a few years ago call Mountain Music Project. https://mountainmusicproject.com/ Tara also conducts music, arts, culture, and trekking tours of Nepal.https://www.taralinhardt.com/
So, Jefferson and Tara decided to collaborate on a new video series called Planetary Music Project, in which they would traverse the world (Anthony Bourdain-style) and interview musicians about the power of music and talk about the local music and culture. Please enjoy these fun interviews and music!
