"Melody Walker is an outspoken force in bluegrass. She routinely calls out the sexism, racism and injustice she sees in the world, a difficult thing to do in an industry still run by many conservative elements. A product of the Left Coast bluegrass world, Walker came up in the Bay Area bluegrass scene. The progressive bluegrass world on the West Coast is sometimes pejoratively referred to as “CPG” by Eastern conservatives-CPG stands for “Colorado Pussy Grass.” It’s a title that Walker and others have reclaimed, making it almost a badge of honor."
