"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/30/2018

Two favorites from 2018

For this last Bluegrass Cafe broadcast for 2018, we featured a whole lot of fine music released during the year.  Boy, there sure was a ton of it!  At some point over the next week, I plan to put together a list of my personal favorites for the year, but for now, suffice it to say that on Sunday's radio show, we shared a whole lot of great Bluegrass from 2018.  Hope you enjoyed it!

Allerton Hawkes
(December 25, 1930 - December 28, 2018)

We also paid tribute on Sunday to a bona fide New England Bluegrass legend, Al Hawkes, who died on December 28th at the age of 88.  Mr. Hawkes lived an amazingly full life both as a performer and as a record label owner and jack-of-all-trades.  He was a frequent festival attendee who could always be spotted jamming and enjoying himself and the music.  A few years ago, Maine Public Television aired a fabulous documentary all about the life of this Westbrook, Maine legend.  Click on this link to view the show in its entirety:

Thanks very much for joining us for Bluegrass Cafe in 2018.  We intend to keep bringing you this program in 2019, too, so hope you'll consider joining us whenever you can!

Happy New Year!!

The Annual Country & Bluegrass Christmas Spectacular - 12/23/2018

As we have for the last several years, on the Sunday afternoon before Christmas, we devote our Bluegrass Cafe programming to a mixture of Country & Bluegrass Christmas music.  The beauty of this particular show is that you really never know who you're going to hear -- and we intend to keep things that way!  

This coming Sunday (December 30th), we will devote our entire three hours to Bluegrass music.  Please consider joining me from 4-7PM, won't you?

Hope you had a great Christmas!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/16/2018

Happy Boxing Day, everyone!  I am a bit delayed in getting the last couple of show playlists posted, but better late than never...  

Shows that feature Bluegrass Christmas music
MUST include Reno & Smiley's 1963 Christmas LP.

The second to the last Bluegrass Cafe to air before Christmas featured a whole lot of (what else?) Christmas music.  We also included several selections from projects released in 2018, as well as music from two bands who either announced a band dissolution (Highland Travelers) or a touring hiatus (Flatt Lonesome) over the past few weeks.  The 2018 tunes included new music from a new-for-this-year Christmas compilation from Pinecastle Records, as well as songs from Bill And The Belles, the Kathy Kallick Band, the Earls Of Leicester, the Feinberg Brothers, Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road, Junior Sisk, High Fidelity, the Appalachian Road Show, David Davis & the Warrior River Boys, Nothin' Fancy, the Rick Lang gospel collection, and the John Duffey tribute recording.  

Thanks for listening!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/9/2018

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe featured a bunch of favorite recordings of 2018, a bit of Christmas music, and a whole lot more.  Hope you were able to join us!

Daniel Grindstaff & Tim Raybon headline
the new band, Merle Monroe.

Among the 2018 selections we shared was a bunch of favorite music from the year, including selections from the John Duffey tribute record, the Del McCoury Band, the Kathy Kallick Band, High Fidelity, Junior Sisk, the Feinberg Brothers, Bill & the Belles, Mickey Galyean & Cullen's Bridge, Becky Buller, Roland White, Sister Sadie, Balsam Range, and the gospel compilation of songs written by Rick Lang.  We even included a brand new Christmas song from a brand new band, Merle Monroe. 

Dreamcatcher at Blistered Fingers BGF - 2018

In addition there was music from a forthcoming recording by a young band called Dreamcatcher.  To those of us who have attended Bluegrass festivals in the northeast over the past couple of decades, the young man who is heading up Dreamcatcher is a familiar face:  guitar picker Aaron Foster of New York.  Nice to see bands formed by young kids who were always found picking at Bluegrass festivals.

Hope you enjoyed the show, and that you'll consider joining me once again next Sunday afternoon!

Enjoy the week!

It's December!  That means a smattering of Bluegrass Christmas (and Hannukah) tunes were introduced into our Bluegrass Cafe playlist today.  Look for more Christmas tunes as we work our way towards the 25th.

We also shared a whole bunch of music from 2018 releases during Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe program, including music from Five Mile Mountain Road Band, the tribute record to John Duffey, Roland White, the Rick Lang gospel collection, NewTown, the Grascals (from the "Come See About Me" collection), Balsam Range, Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard, Dede Wyland, the Feinberg Brothers, Rhonda Vincent, Bill & the Belles, Hot Rize, Flashback, Del McCoury, and High Fidelity.  We also listened to a bit of a demo from southern New England-based band, Rock Hearts.

Hope you heard something you enjoyed today, and that you'll consider joining us once again next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Have a good week!
