On this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast, we're talking to Pharis and Jason Romero. 2022 is shaping up to a big year for the Romeros: This week, the duo will release 'Tell 'Em You Were Gold,' their seventh album, and their first project on Smithsonian Folkways. As if that weren't enough, at some point soon, Jason will be putting the finishing touches on their 500th banjo creation.  During our chat, we talk about how they balance their lives between instrument making, touring, recording, and family duties. We also talk about the secret tuning that Jason discovers with each of his banjos, how he builds his instruments, the making of their new record, and more.  Check out a behind-the-scenes mini doc on the making of the album here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9cHx2ReaHA&amp;ab_channel=SmithsonianFolkways And check out the documentary we shot nearly a decade ago here:  https://www.fretboardjournal.com/video/fretboard-films-trip-romero-banjos/ The banjo playlist that Jason curated can be found here:  https://folkways.si.edu/playlist/the-brain-on-banjos-pharis-jason-romero Order 'Tell 'Em You Were Gold' here: https://orcd.co/pharis-jason-romero This episode is sponsored by Peghead Nation (use the promo code FRETBOARD and get your first month free or $20 off any annual subscription); Retrofret Vintage Guitars; Izotope (use the discount code FRET10 to save 10% off your Izotope purchase); and Calton Cases. www.fretboardjournal.com
