This week on Five String Holler, we pull up a chair on the front porch with Eastern Kentucky bluegrass legend Astor Taylor. For more than 40 years, Astor has been a fixture in the mountain music scene, carrying the traditions of bluegrass from local stages to festivals across the country.
A Vietnam veteran, retired coal miner, and longtime frontman of the legendary East Ky Tyme, Astor shares stories from a lifetime spent making music. From picking all over the region to spending time with icons like Ralph Stanley and Bill Monroe, his memories offer a firsthand look at a golden era of bluegrass music.
Join us as Astor reflects on his life, his music, the people he met along the way, and the traditions that helped shape the sound of Eastern Kentucky. It’s an honest conversation full of history, laughter, and stories that deserve to be preserved.
Pull up a chair and listen in—this is one you won’t want to miss.
