"New" was the word for Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe. Mind you, we didn't share only the newest Bluegrass music in existence, but it seems like this was the week for several performers to release music -- new bands, Grammy-nominated bands, older bands with new configurations -- no matter, as all of it was pretty top-notch, and gives us something to look forward to for the future Bluegrass in 2022. This brand-new music came to us from the likes of a new group called Authentic Unlimited, the new configuration of Special Consensus, Woody Platt (minus his Steep Canyon Rangers bandmates), the Po' Ramblin' Boys, and more. Hope you enjoyed it.
We also opened the phone lines for requests, and surprisingly, I was able to go 3/3, with requests for music from Joe Val & the New England Bluegrass Boys, Ralph Stanley with Dwight Yoakam, and even a Bluegrass-sounding tune from Marty Robbins. You just never know what folks are going to want to hear.
Hope you were able to join us on Sunday. If you couldn't tune in, there's always next week. We'll be looking for you from 4-7PM on Sunday afternoon.
Have a good week!
Amy O.
