We spent about a third of our three hours together listening to the music of and speaking with the reigning International Bluegrass Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year, Becky Buller. Over the past few years, Becky's songwriting efforts have been featured on many top-notch recordings by several big name performers including Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, IIIrd Tyme Out, Rhonda Vincent, Josh Williams, Nu-Blu, and Ricky Skaggs, just to name a few. Becky will make her Joe Val Bluegrass Festival debut with her Becky Buller Band on Sunday, February 19th. Be sure to check out the music of this multi-talented singer/fiddler/songwriter/bandleader.
It's not a secret that the award-winning Gibson Brothers have a new record coming out on Rounder Records in mid-February. All of the songs featured on this record are either written or co-written by Eric or Leigh, and on Sunday's show, we featured four selections, including the title song, "In The Ground." We also heard some brand-new music from the Darrell Webb Band, and a soon-to-be-released record from Big Country Bluegrass.
And we couldn't let the show pass without hearing a little bit of music from four gentlemen who celebrate their respective birthdays on February 1st: Del McCoury (born in 1939), Tom Gray (1941), David Parmley (1959), and Jason Carter (1973). Happy Birthday to all of them!
We'll look for you again next Sunday afternoon in Bluegrass Cafe. Hope you can join us from 4-7PM.
Have a good week!
