Bob Crawford is a founding member and bassist of the acclaimed folk-rock band the Avett Brothers. Known for his versatile musicianship and heartfelt presence on stage, Crawford has played a pivotal role in shaping the Grammy-nominated band's signature blend of bluegrass, rock, folk and Americana. Originally from New Jersey, Crawford studied jazz at Winthrop University, where he refined his skills on the upright bass.
Among his musical achievements, Crawford can add podcast host to the list. This summer, he launched “American History Hotline,” a series that follows Crawford as he searches for the best historians and experts to answer listener questions about American history — from the Revolutionary War to rock 'n' roll feuds.
On the next Charlotte Talks, we sit down with Crawford for the hour to discuss his music career, how he found his way to North Carolina, what he hopes to accomplish with this new podcast and to hear what he thinks are the biggest questions still remaining in American history.
