"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/16/2025

This day's edition of our Bluegrass Cafe was all about March winds, St. Patrick's Day, new music, and the celebration of a couple of March 16th birthdays (those of both Tim O'Brien and Ronnie McCoury).  Hope you were able to join us!

There was new music to be shared today, with selections from two recordings released on March 14th ("Remains To Be Scene" by the Seldom Scene and Jason Carter & Michael Cleveland's "Carter & Cleveland") and one to be released in April ("Carry Me Back To The Bluegrass" from Big Country Bluegrass).  Though we have played music on the air from all of these recordings over the past few weeks, today was the first time we shared music from the full recordings.  You can probably guess it won't be the last time we hear from these selections, either.

And since St. Patrick's Day happens tomorrow, we couldn't forget to play a couple of Irish-themed songs.  Hope you enjoyed them.  

We'll look forward to visiting with you next Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM.  And don't forget that we'll have tickets to give away to the upcoming Noam Pikelny show at UConn's Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts during next week's broadcast.  It should be a fun time!  

Enjoy the week!
