Ninety-five years ago this week on August 1, 1927, A.P. Carter, his wife Sara, and his sister-in-law Maybelle (who was also Sara's cousin), travelled to Bristol, Tennessee to make their very first recordings. During our Bluegrass Cafe, we spent over an hour celebrating the music of the Carter Family with lots of Bluegrass covers from many different performers, as well as music from two generations of this legendary family.
In addition to Carter Family music, there was a healthy portion of new music to share, as well. To that end, we heard brand-new (or very recent) music from Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Chad Darou, the Stillhouse Junkies, Ben James, the Tennessee Bluegrass Band, the Lonesome River Band, Peter Rowan, the Gibson Brothers, Laura Orshaw, and the Po' Ramblin' Boys.
Hope you were able to join us on Sunday, and we look forward to having you along for the ride once again this coming Sunday from 4-7PM.
Enjoy the week, and stay cool!
