"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/4/2024

It's nearly time for the annual Podunk Bluegrass Festival, so we made sure to highlight some of the performers during this past Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe. This event is Connecticut's only major Bluegrass festival, and the lineup is filled with top-notch bands such as High Fidelity, the Tennessee Bluegrass Band, the Kevin Prater Band, Carley Arrowood, Nick Chandler & Delivered, the Del McCoury Band, and others.  The weather forecast for this weekend in Goshen, CT doesn't seem super-promising, but no matter -- the music will be great, and we hope to see you at Podunk!  For more information on the festival, visit this link.

One more fabulous performer who will be coming to Podunk this Saturday is the legendary John McEuen (along with his Circle Band).  One of the founding members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, John McEuen is quite a character who has a thousand stories to tell.  At Podunk, he will be sharing selections from the iconic Dirt Band record released in 1972:  "Will The Circle Be Unbroken," as well as Dirt Band favorites, and maybe even a song or two from the record he released in April, "The Newman."  We had the privilege of talking to John McEuen on the telephone during Sunday's radio program.  Hope you were able to join us.

We'll be looking for you at Podunk!  If not, though, you'll be able to hear some Bluegrass when our next edition of Bluegrass Cafe takes the airwaves on Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM.

Enjoy the weekend -- and stay dry!  :)
