"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 2/15/2015

Another super-chilly, extremely-windy Sunday afternoon found us in the warm WHUS Studio A for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.  While the trip to the studio was a bit more challenging than one might hope, the show went by in a fairly smooth way, so that's a good thing.  Hope you were able to join us for at least a few minutes of the ol' radio program...

The Boston Bluegrass Union hosted the 30th Annual Joe Val Bluegrass Festival in Framingham, MA this past weekend, and the folks who attended were "welcomed" with yet another Boston-area super dose of winter -- 12+ inches of new snow and crazy winds.  While I had a ticket for the festival, I opted to stay home in eastern CT this weekend, but the reports I've heard from Joe Val attendees have been positive ones.  For those who made it to the festival and for those who didn't, I included a few songs throughout the radio show from Joe Val performers, including Rhonda Vincent, the Roland White Band, Laurie Lewis & Kathy Kallick, the Seldom Scene, and the Del McCoury Band.

It's always fun to include a little bit of new music with each radio show, and this week's newest recording came from Cody Shuler -- a dandy, self-titled recording on Rural Rhythm featuring all original songs.  We also shared newer music from recent recordings by Hot Rize, Blue Mafia, Shannon & Heather Slaughter, the Spinney Brothers, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, as well as a song or two from recent SPBGMA Award winners the Gibson Brothers, the Larry Stephenson Band, and the Farm Hands.  

In addition, there was a song or two from Connecticut performers, Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters.  Amy's most recent recording, "Everything I Wanted Love To Be" got a "Highlight Review" in the February issue of Bluegrass Unlimited.  If you missed the review, you can see it here (scroll down).  Look for Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters playing over the next few weeks in eastern CT at the Killingly Grange on February 28th and at the Bread Box Folk series in Willimantic on March 8th.

Hope you're able to join Jim on the radio next Sunday for another edition of Bluegrass Cafe starting at 4PM.  

Enjoy the week -- stay warm!
