"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 2/3/2019

After a one-hour, sports-shortened program during the last week of January, our Bluegrass Cafe was full-length today.  The three hours were filled with birthday tributes, a remembrance, and a whole lot of new music.

February 1st is always a big day for birthdays in the World of Bluegrass, with four important musicians celebrating that day, including Jason Carter (born 1973) and David Parmley (1959), as well as two members of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame:  Tom Gray (1941) and Del McCoury (1939).  Becky Buller just missed the February 1st parade, as she celebrated her birthday on January 31st.  

During the short show last week, we paid tribute to the late Maxine Brown of Country Music Hall of Famers, the Browns.  The Browns were not "Bluegrass" performers, but as with several other country performers of the 1950s and 1960s, some of their songs have been covered in Bluegrass.  We shared a couple of those songs on Sunday, too.

There was brand new music galore, too, with 2019 music from Big Country Bluegrass, Blue Moon Rising, Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen, the Tony Rook Band, Jeff Scroggins & Colorado, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers (featuring Del McCoury), Aaron "Frosty" Foster, and Alan Bibey & Grasstowne.  Other recent music was from Balsam Range, Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass, and Carolina Blue.



Hope you got to tune in today, but if not...be sure to join us next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Have a good week!
