"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/9/2026

A full week has passed since our August 9th Bluegrass Cafe!  This show contained lots of music from fine performers who'd appeared at the 29th Podunk Bluegrass Festival in Goshen last weekend.  We also included a little bit of newer music, including a brand-new single from the revived Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, as well as newer music from Bronwyn, Bob Minner, the Kody Norris Show, and Red Camel Collective.

And we couldn't not celebrate the early August birthdays of both the King of Bluegrass, Jimmy Martin (August 10, 1927 - May 14, 2005) and Country Music Hall of Famer, Buck Owens (August 12, 1929 - March 25, 2006).  

Hope you enjoyed the show!  Be sure to join us for another Bluegrass Cafe on August 16th!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/10/2025

As Sunday was the 98th birth anniversary of the King of Bluegrass, we spent a whole lot of time during our Bluegrass Cafe sharing music performed by or written about the one-and-only Jimmy Martin (August 10, 1927 - May 14, 2005).  

We couldn't skip a couple of other August birthdays, either, including the 80th birthday of Steve Martin (born August 14, 1945), as well as a couple of songs written by Bluegrass musician and songwriter, Jake Landers (August 14, 1938 - February 13, 2018).  And we paid our annual tribute to Country Music Hall of Famer, Buck Owens (August 12, 1929 - March 25, 2006) with several Bluegrass covers of Buck standards.  

A tiny bit of newer music made it onto the show, as well, including songs from brand-new supergroup, Southern Legacy, as well as Jason Hannan, Wyatt Ellis, and a newly-released single from the Del McCoury Band.  

On August 17th, I will be away from the radio once again, but we've got a show from the archives ready to go for your listening pleasure.  We'll join you once again with a fresh Bluegrass Cafe on Sunday, August 24th.  

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/18/2024

During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we spent a good portion of time remembering and sharing the music of the great Bobby Hicks, who died on August 16th at the age of 91.  Bobby Hicks had an incredible career, and while he could play many instruments, he was primarily known as a top-notch fiddler.  From his early days in the 1950s playing with Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys [see Bobby Hicks play the banjo with Bill Monroe circa 1955 here] to his many years working with Ricky Skaggs's band to his pairing with Mark Kuykendall in the 2010s, and, of course, to his position in the Bluegrass Album Band (watch "Cheyenne" here), we shared lots of music featuring this outstanding member of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame.  Rest in peace, Bobby Hicks.  

There were a couple of Bluegrass birthdays to remember, as well, so we shared songs by Steve Martin (born August 14, 1945) and the late Audie Blaylock (August 18, 1962 - January 12, 2024).

We remembered the birth anniversary of Country Music Hall of Famer Buck Owens (August 12, 1929 - March 26, 2006).  Many of Buck's classic tunes have been covered in the Bluegrass world, so we included a bunch of them.

And finally, there was a tiny bit of newer music to share, this time from new recordings by the Grascals, the Po' Ramblin' Boys, Jason Carter & Michael Cleveland, Greg Blake & Amanda Cook, Alan Bibey, and Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers.

Hope you were able to join us last Sunday afternoon!  We'll look forward to our next visit this Sunday from 4-7PM.  Hope to see you on the radio!

Enjoy the weekend!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/13/2023

Hot on the heels of last Sunday's playlist posting for our Bluegrass Cafe, here comes the list for this day's edition!  

As you might imagine, we started the show with selections from several performers who appeared at this year's recently concluded Podunk Bluegrass Festival in Goshen.  It was a wonderful festival with so many terrific performers, including Authentic Unlimited, Full Cord, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, East Nash Grass, Jerry Salley (who performed with Kristy Cox & Grasstime), Mike Mitchell, the Henhouse Prowlers, and Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass.  Hope you were able to attend, but if not this year, you'll have another chance in 2024!  Reserve these dates on your calendar:  August 10-13, 2024.  

We also celebrated the shared birth anniversary date of two Country Music Hall of Fame members:  Porter Wagoner (August 12, 1927 - October 28, 2007) and Buck Owens (August 12, 1929 - March 25, 2006).  Both of these legends have had their music covered in a Bluegrass style over the years, so we shared a couple of tracks from each man's catalog.  We also continued the celebration of the birth anniversary of the King Of Bluegrass (Jimmy Martin) with several songs and covers from his vast catalog.

Hope you were able to join us for this broadcast, but if not, you'll have another chance next weekend to check out our Bluegrass Cafe.

Until then, enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/21/2022

The focus of Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was on celebrating noted mid-to-late August birthdays -- two of Bluegrass music legends, and three more performers who are members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.  If all of that wasn't enough, we had several new selections to share, too.  Hope you were able to join us!

First off, we remembered the August 27th birthdays of two important members of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame:  Carter Stanley (August 27, 1925 - December 1, 1966) and J.D. Crowe (August 27, 1937 - December 24, 2021).  We also included music honoring three members of the Country Music Hall of Fame:  Harold Reid of the Statler Brothers, Porter Wagoner, and Buck Owens.  

New music played an important part of our show on Sunday, too.  There were selections from several brand-new or soon-to-be released recordings from New England band Rock Hearts, as well as Greg Blake & Hometown, Seth Mulder & Midnight Run, Becky Buller, Mickey Harris, Leon Morris, Chris Davis, and Authentic Unlimited.  

Hope you enjoyed Sunday's show.  We'll see you again next Sunday (8/28) from 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/16/2020

After our "repeat" broadcast last week due to Tropical Storm Isaias, this Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe was a completely new presentation.  Hope you enjoyed it!

Mid-August seems to be a fine time to be born if you want to be a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.  This week, we celebrated the August birthdays of two members of the Country Music Hall of Fame -- Webb Pierce (born August 8, 1921) and Buck Owens (born August 12, 1929) -- as well as one member of the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame -- Jimmy Martin (born August 10, 1927).  No better way to celebrate than by sharing the music of these fine performers, and in the case of Webb and Buck, many of their songs have been covered to the Bluegrass world, and continue to be recorded

We included a little bit of new music this week, too, featuring a couple of selections each from Stephen Mougin ("Ordinary Soul" on Dark Shadow Recording) and Carolina Blue, whose "Take Me Back" was recently released on their new label, Billy Blue Records.  Other newer releases for 2020 included selections from the Feinberg Brothers, Greg Booth (from "The New Reso Gathering"), Junior Sisk, and High Fidelity.

As the remainder of our programs for 2020 will be recorded at home, I'd like to encourage you to send any requests to me through email (bgcafe@gmail.com) or check out our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/WHUS.BluegrassCafe).  

Have a great week, and stay healthy!
