"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 2/5/2017

On Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we broke out a couple of LPs, shared our usual combo of classic and new Bluegrass, and listened to some music from two 2017 inductees into the Rhode Island Bluegrass Alliance (RIBA) Hall of Fame.  It was a pretty full show ~ hope you were able to listen!

The two RIBA Hall of Famers for 2017 are the late Bill Hall, a banjo picker, bandleader, and songwriter who worked with several notable New England Bluegrass performers including Joe Val & the New England Bluegrass Boys, and Jimmy Gaudreau, the mandolin playing tenor singer who has been an important part of several bands (Fred Pike, Bill Rawlings & the Twin River Boys, IInd Generation, Spectrum, J.D. Crowe & the New South, Tony Rice Unit), but who made his mark after he joined the Country Gentlemen after John Duffey's departure in early 1969.  Congratulations to these two performers and their families!  If you'd like to learn more about the induction ceremonies to be held on March 4th in Cranston, RI, visit this link.

As we like to do, we shared music from some newer (one year or younger) recordings by Lou Reid & Carolina, Sideline, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show, the Gibson Brothers, the tribute record to Mac Wiseman, Rhonda Vincent & the Rage, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, the Larry Stephenson Band, Mickey Galyean & Cullen's Bridge, and Wildfire.

Cathy Day joins you in the Bluegrass Cafe next time around.  Be sure to join her from 4-7PM, won't you?

Have a good week!
