"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/12/2025

Sunday afternoon (October 12th) was a rainy and windy day in eastern Connecticut, and our Bluegrass Cafe reflected the conditions just a little bit.  While the "theme" of the show was mostly just "good music," we pulled out the "Letter of the Week" occasional feature and put a small spotlight on performers whose name (last name or band name) started with the letter "R."  These performers included everyone from Reno & Smiley and Tony Rice and Lou Reid to newer performers like Rrinaco, Red Camel Collective, and Rock Hearts, just to name a few.  It's good to emphasize a letter every now and then, as it sort of forces me to share CDs on our shelves that may get overlooked a bit.  Hope you enjoyed the selections.

There wasn't too much in the way of brand-new music to share, but we did include a couple of selections from three new recordings we received this week, including music from the Burnett Sisters Band, Tidalwave Road, and Pitney Meyer.  There were also recent selections from Shawn Camp, Junior Sisk, Laura Orshaw, Missy Raines & Allegheny, and the Kody Norris Show.

Hope you were able to join us for the program yesterday, but if not, you still have a week or two to listen to the archival broadcast, if you like.  Find it at this link.  

Have a great week, and please be sure to join us once again next Sunday afternoon for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.
