Art Rosenbaum was a legend in his own time; eternally creative, energetic and curious. To call him prolific was an understatement. Art was a world-renowned visual artist, banjo player, fiddler, song-catcher, tune-collector, sea shanty singer, and champion of beautiful people and weird things. And he's the only hog-eyed man who has won a Grammy. ;-) In all his work, he connected the past, present and future in surprising and satisfying ways.
For Jason, it was the honor of a lifetime when Art drew his portrait for the posters, coffee cans, and T-shirts promoting the 32nd North Georgia Folk Festival in 2016.
On his 79th birthday, Art stopped by to join us for two numbers that are on on fourth album, and they are really, really good. Thanks Art, for all you did in this lifetime! Rest in Peace, friend.
