About this episode
Robbie Fulks released his debut album back in 1996, and here we are in 2025 with him, at age 62, still on the rise. His awesome guitar-picking skills and singing drew the attention of Steve Martin, who added him to his bluegrass band for performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, at the Hollywood Bowl and beyond. Fulks also has a brilliant new album, Now Then, that covers much stylistic ground while digging deeper than ever into his memories and the past's impact upon the present. The sharp-witted Fulks is a freewheeling conversationalist who tells how his move from Chicago to Los Angeles affected his life and career, how he got connected to Steve Martin, what happened the first time he went to Martin’s house and why he continues to hit artistic peaks in his early 60s. Has Robbie Fulks become an overnight sensation at last? (Photo by Beth Herzhaft.)
