Last Sunday's show was heavily laden with new music from some fine bluegrass musicians on today's scene.
Folks like Alex Leach; Larry Efaw & The Bluegrass Mountaineers; Steve Gulley & New Pinnacle; The Hot Flashes; David Davis; Special Consensus; Travers Chandler; Mickey Galyean and Cullen's Bridge; Jeff Scroggins and Colorado (who will be appearing at Podunk in a couple of weeks); Kristin Scott Benson; O'Connor Band with Mark O'Connor; Rickey Wasson; Lou Reid & Carolina; and Rob Ikes & Trey Hensley.
I played a good bit of Heritage Corner bluegrass from LPs as well including tracks from The Mountain Ramblers (with Cullen Galyean), The Lilly Brothers & Don Stover live in Japan, Jim Eanes with Red Smiley, Red Allen, and The Sloas Brothers.
I hope you enjoyed what you heard. Be sure to tune in this coming Sunday when Amy will make the banjos and fiddles ring on Bluegrass Cafe.
