Welcome to Five String Holler, a podcast straight outta Eastern Kentucky where the banjos ring, the stories run deep, and not a whole lot gets sugarcoated.


Hosted by David Barnett (aka Banjo Barnett), this show dives into all things music—especially bluegrass and country—mixed with real conversations, local legends, and the kind of everyday stories you only hear sittin’ on a porch somewhere in the hills.


You’ll hear from pickers, players, and good folks from all walks of life—some you know, some you oughta know. From talkin’ shop about tone and technique to tellin’ stories that’ll make you laugh, shake your head, or both… this ain’t your polished Nashville production—and that’s the point.


It’s real. It’s raw. It’s honest.


So whether you’re a lifelong musician, a weekend picker, or just somebody who enjoys a good story and a better laugh—pull up a chair and settle in.


This is Five String Holler.

    Jun 2 2026

    This week on Five String Holler, Banjo Barnett sits down with singer, songwriter, and music promoter Gary Joseph.


    Gary’s musical journey has taken him through just about every corner of the music world.

    Join us as Gary shares stories from a lifetime spent around music, the influences that shaped him, the challenges and rewards of performing, and what it’s like helping promote live music across Eastern Kentucky. From church pews to bluegrass festivals to honky-tonk stages, Gary’s story is one of dedication, passion, and a genuine love for keeping real music alive.


    If you enjoy country music, bluegrass, gospel, and good stories from one of Eastern Kentucky’s finest musicians, you won’t want to miss this one.

    May 19 2026

    Episode 3 of Five String Holler is one for the books! This week we sit down with Honky Tonk Pappy himself, Randy Wyatt — bass player, guitar picker, banjo man, former radio DJ, and retired law enforcement officer with enough stories to fill up a Waffle House jukebox.

    Randy talks about hosting the legendary Bluegrass Express alongside Fiddlin Verlin Sanders, life behind the microphone, years in law enforcement, and memories from hanging around icons like Gary Stewart, Keith Whitley, Ricky Skaggs, and more. From Carter Stanley showing up at his mamaw’s house when he was a kid, to road stories and music memories from Eastern Kentucky’s and Virginia's golden days, this episode is packed tighter than a Double Kwik parking lot on payday.

    If you love country music, bluegrass, old radio stories, and hearing how things USED to be around here, you absolutely don’t wanna miss this one. Pull up a chair and join us for laughs, memories, and a whole lotta holler talk.

    May 13 2026

    This week on Five String Holler, we sit down with Eastern Kentucky’s own Travis Fields — musician, songwriter, educator, podcast host, and all around good man. Travis has spent years shaping young minds in the classroom while absolutely melting faces on stage with a guitar in his hands.

Whether you know him from the classroom, the stage, or somewhere in between, one thing’s for sure: Travis Fields leaves an impression wherever he goes.


    Join us for a conversation full of music, laughs, inspiration, and a little bit of guitar nerd talk from one of the finest musicians this side of the mountains.


    Teaching kids and melting faces… Travis Fields has mastered both.
