"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/29/2024

Our last Bluegrass Cafe for 2024 was spent sharing music from some of the fine Bluegrass folks who passed in 2024:  Herb Applin, Audie Blaylock, David Davis, Ben Eldridge, Bobby Hicks, Jim Mills, Roni Stoneman, Frank Wakefield, and Cliff Waldron.  All were amazing musicians who provided us many, many years filled with wonderful music that we will cherish and share forever.  May they all rest in peace.

We began our broadcast with selections from some of the folks who won awards during this year's International Bluegrass Music Association Awards ceremony at the end of September.  We even included a tune from newly-minted IBMA Hall of Fame member, Alan Munde.

And we couldn't not share some of the great music that was released during 2024.  There were lots of fine selections from everyone from Bronwyn Keith-Hynes to Junior Sisk, Red Camel Collective to Authentic Unlimited, and Tony Trischka to the Del McCoury Band and more.

Hope you're enjoying 2025...so far!  

Please join us on Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM as we present the first Bluegrass Cafe for the new year.
