Banjoïste,
chanteur, leader et radiodiffuseur US, né le 27 Octobre 1965 à Xenia (Ohio).
Banjo
player, singer, and radio broadcaster Joe Mullins was immersed in bluegrass and
country music from a young age. Born and raised in southwestern Ohio, Mullins'
father was respected broadcaster and fiddler Paul "Moon" Mullins, whose daytime
bluegrass show on Classic Country Radio spanned four-plus decades. By the early
'80s, a teenage Mullins had begun his own career as a founding member of the
Traditional Grass, a band known for their adherence to the genre's early
pioneers. After cutting their teeth with several self-released cassettes, the
band signed to Rebel Records, for whom they recorded four highly respected
albums between 1992-1995. Burned out from the band's hectic touring and
recording pace, Mullins had an opportunity in 1995 to purchase a struggling AM
radio station called WBZI in Xenia, Ohio. Having worked for his father's station
as a teenager, Mullins was familiar with the ins and outs of the radio business
and by 2004, he had acquired two more regional sister stations dedicated to
bluegrass and country music. Throughout the late '90s he alternately spent his
time building his burgeoning radio business and recording and performing with
another traditionally minded bluegrass group, Longview. As a member
of Longview, Mullins had a number of bluegrass hits and in 1998 earned the Song
of the Year award from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA). In
2001, he earned another IMBA award, this time for his instrumental work on Rebel
Records' Knee Deep in Bluegrass collection. He continued to record and perform
throughout the 2000s, playing both bluegrass and gospel music in addition to
maintaining his broadcasting work. In 2010, he formed a new group, Joe Mullins &
the Radio Ramblers, and began releasing music again on the Rebel Records label.
In their first year alone, the Ramblers released both a traditional bluegrass
record called Rambler's Call and a gospel collection called Hymns from the Hills. They're
Playing My Song followed in 2012, after which Mullins recorded Hall of Fame
Bluegrass, a duo record with guitarist and singer Junior Sisk. The Radio
Ramblers returned in 2014, bringing their strong blend of classic bluegrass and
gospel on Another Day from Life. Sacred Memories followed in 2016 and featured
contributions from Ricky
Skaggs, Rhonda
Vincent, and the Isaacs.
