Partially famous and wholly talented ex-Humboldter Ivan Rosenberg performed for almost an hour on Mike Dronkers’ program Friday, February 24th.

In addition to his decidedly non-shreddy music, Rosenberg talked about his time as a Humboldt Ultimate Frisbee athlete, how Jimmy Buffett sent him to Montana, and why it’s OK to zone out to certain compositions.

Chris Coole joined him to play banjo and guitar, despite a childhood fraught with Neil Diamond records and Andy Griffith reruns.

For over a decade, Ivan Rosenberg has been making ‘boutique’ recordings of personable, expressive acoustic music on Dobro and clawhammer banjo.

Millions have heard his original songs playing in the background of over 250 television programs including The Daily Show, Oprah, and the Emmy-nominated documentary Libby, Montana.
