Shaky Knees 2025 vs. IBMA Chattanooga: Live from the Red Carpet + Bilmuri Interview
Description
Shaky Knees 2025 and IBMA's World of Bluegrass in Chattanooga couldn't be more different, but this week on The What Podcast we were at both. From Atlanta's Piedmont Park with Devo, Johnny Marr, 4 Non Blondes, Weird Al, and more, to the Red Carpet in Chattanooga with Steve Martin, Alison Brown, and the bluegrass world’s biggest stars...we've got you covered.
PLUS: we sit down for an exclusive interview with Johnny Franck of Bilmuri (not Bill Murray), where he talks about festival life, Bonnaroo 2025’s cancellation, rocking jorts on stage, and how his genre-bending sound fits across rock, pop, country, and metal festivals.
