"Bluegrass Cafe" Playlist - 2/19/2012

Hi Folks,

This show aired as folks were returning from the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival, so the goal was to keep it interesting after a weekend of outstanding music.

Amy Gallatin & Roger Williams

We played songs from several of the artists appearing at Joe Val, including Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, The Reunion Band, The Spinney Brothers, Blue Highway, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, Amy Gallatin & Stillwaters, The Manic Mountain Boys, and The Steep Canyon Rangers.  We also played a solo tune from Mr. Al Hawkes who was seen all over the festival in numerous jam sessions.

We had a good time mining our archives for some great classic material that included songs from Delia Bell & Bill Grant, Bill Monroe, John Duffey, Flatt & Scruggs, and The Lilly Brothers & Don Stover.

Some not-yet-classic-but-great songs on this show were from Connecticut regional band Shady Creek, California band Peter Feldmann & The Pea Patch Quintet, and Taylors Grove - a duet from Maine who performs excellent versions of old time songs.

One of the news items that was announced during the Joe Val Festival was the move this year of the Podunk Bluegrass Festival from East Hartford, CT, to a larger facility in Norwich, CT.  It is great to see bluegrass festivals growing in the northeast!

Amy will be making the banjos and fiddles ring on the next Bluegrass Cafe, so be sure to tune in.
