"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 1/26/2025

During part of Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we spent some time belatedly celebrating the January 19th birthdays of two very important figures in the world of Bluegrass:  both the late Bluegrass Hall of Famer Charlie Waller (January 19, 1935 - August 18, 2004), and the always-important Bluegrass influencer, Dolly Parton (born January 19, 1946).  No better way than to celebrate these folks than with lots of their music, and so, that is what we did.

We also remembered Buck White, who died on January 13th at the age of 94.  This patriarch of the Whites (a band formerly known as Buck White & the Down Home Folks) was a staple at the Grand Ole Opry for 40+ years, and carried on the tradition of great family bands in country music for many decades.  Buck will be missed, but his influence lives on through his daughters (and musical partners), Sharon White Skaggs and Cheryl White Jones.

The Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America (SPBGMA) held their 50th annual convention and awards show this past weekend, and we shared music from some of the big fan-voted winners, including the Kody Norris Show, Rhonda Vincent, Junior Sisk, and Authentic Unlimited.  For a complete list of the 2025 winners, check out this link from Bluegrass Today.

We even had time for a bit of brand-new music during our show, too, this time coming from Laura Orshaw (with the Slocan Ramblers), Larry Cordle, Becky Buller, and Nick Chandler & Delivered.

Hope you're having a good week.  We'll look forward to visiting with you on the radio once again this coming Sunday when Bluegrass Cafe returns from 4-7PM.

See you then!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 1/12/2025

During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we spent a good bit of time celebrating the 99th birth anniversary of the Country Music Hall of Famer, Ray Price.  Though the Cherokee Cowboy was definitely NOT a Bluegrass performer, like so many of his contemporaries, a whole bunch of Ray Price songs have been recorded in a Bluegrass style.  We couldn't let the day pass without sharing a whole bunch of them, so we didn't. 

We also remembered the wonderful Bluegrass songwriter, Randall Hylton (January 8, 1945 - July 19, 2003).  Randall Hylton left us with many fine songs that have become an important part of Bluegrass history, and we shared just four of them on Sunday.

New music was part of the show, too, with new selections from Greg Blake, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Wyatt Ellis with Peter Rowan, the Henhouse Prowlers, and a tribute to the late Audie Blaylock from some former members of his band, Redline.  

Hope you have a wonderful week, and we'll look forward to joining you on the airwaves again next Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.

"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.
