"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 4/14/2024

Our Tax Day Eve Bluegrass Cafe broadcast on April 14th started with several songs about money (or lack of it) and, of course, taxes.  Other sets of music from Sunday's show focused on newer tracks, and there were several April birthdays to remember.  Hope you were able to join us, but if not, read on for the recap...

For April birthdays, we remembered the 60th birthday of Stuart Duncan (born April 14, 1964), as well as the 80th birthday of Doyle Lawson (born April 20, 1944).  We also celebrated the birthdays (or birth anniversaries) of Delia Bell, Bob Dick, and Hylo Brown.

There was a bit of recent music from Alison Brown & Steve Martin, Darren Beachley & Kyle Windbeck, Junior Sisk, Adam McIntosh, the Price Sisters, Authentic Unlimited, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, and Howard Parker.

And we celebrated two Pioneers of Bluegrass who were honored Sunday afternoon by the Rhode Island Bluegrass Alliance at their Hall of Fame ceremonies.  We celebrated both the late Bill Rawlings, as well as Dave Papuga, an eastern Connecticut guitarist who worked for several years with the Pike Brothers and Earlene Pike.  We'll focus more on their music over the next few weeks.

Hope you were able to join us on Sunday, but if not, we sure hope you'll consider tuning in this coming Sunday from 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 3/31/2024

For a Bluegrass Cafe that aired on Easter Sunday, you might expect to hear all sorts of Easter-themed Bluegrass songs...and you would be absolutely right!  We included Easter music performed by everybody from the Stanley Brothers to the Old Time Bluegrass Singers to the Country Gentlemen Tribute Band to Paul Adkins & the Borderline Band.  And there were many more songs that we could have played, but we just ran out of time.  Hope you enjoyed this blessed day!  

Sunday was the last day of March, which is known as Women's History Month.  To that end, we shared several selections from some of the finest female singers and musicians in the history of Bluegrass music.  We could have easily filled the whole show with just music from female performers, but instead, we'll keep on enjoying music from these fine musicians whenever we can, no matter the month.

And there were a few late March/early April birthdays to celebrate, including those of young Wyatt Ellis, Jeremy Stephens, Missy Raines, Cliff Waldron, and Bluegrass Hall of Famer Bill Clifton.

Finally, we included a little bit of new music from the likes of Alison Brown with Steve Martin, Junior Sisk, Daniel Grindstaff (with Trey Hensley), and two brand-new recordings from Authentic Unlimited.

Enjoy your week, and we'll hope to join you once again on Sunday afternoon for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.
