"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/23/2023

During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we shared lots of wonderful music, including a tune or two in honor Earth Day.  Hope you were able to join us!

Our main focus on Sunday was sharing music from several members of the Rhode Island Bluegrass Alliance (RIBA) Hall of Fame.  Of the seventeen members who have been inducted since this honor was established in 2016, we heard music from nine of them during our program.  This coming Sunday -- April 30th -- the RIBA folks will be holding their 2023 induction ceremonies, during which four pioneers (Gert Hall, Al Hawkes, Randy Hawkins, and the Lilly Brothers) will be honored.  The inductees for 2023 include the delightful Neon Valley Boys -- one of my favorite local bands of the 1980s -- and, as you likely have heard by now, me.  How do I fit in with the likes of Fred Pike, Sam Tidwell, and Jimmy Gaudreau?  Honestly, I'm not sure, but I'm delighted to be there!  😁 If you'd like to know more about the RIBA event this coming Sunday, click here for more information or visit RIBluegrass.org

Oh, and if everything goes as planned, you'll get to hear an archived Bluegrass Cafe from May 2021 during our 4-7PM timeslot on April 30th.  That's the plan, anyway. 

We also included some newer music, this week from Tina Adair, Marty Raybon, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, (Wayne & Kristin Scott) Benson, and the Special Consensus, as well as 2023 releases from Boone & Foster, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, Jason Barie, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, and Larry Sparks.

We'll be back on the air with you with a live program on May 7th.  

Have a good week!
