"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 2/11/2018

Joe Val -- more than just a great Bluegrass festival

We are one week away from a very important event in the world of New England Bluegrass:  the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival.  To that end, Sunday's show celebrated Joe Val with an interview Cathy Day conducted with Ira Gitlin about the Joe Val Kids' Academy, musical selections from a whole bunch of Joe Val performers for 2018, and several songs from Joe Val, himself.  We even gave away two Friday passes to JV, courtesy of the fine folks at the Boston Bluegrass Union.  It should be a great festival ~ to learn more about it, click here.

While there wasn't a ton of new music on Sunday's show, there was some.  We included selections from recent recordings by Remington Ryde, Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers, Shannon Slaughter, Jerry Wicentowski, and a song from the forthcoming new project by Sideline.  

My plan is to stay for Sunday's Joe Val festivities next week (for the first time in several years!), so the plan is for our old friend, Jim Beaver, to join you on the WHUS airwaves next Sunday afternoon.  Should be fun!

Have a good week!
