"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/19/2026

Our Bluegrass Cafe broadcast last Sunday was a whole lot of fun, as we were able to share music from three of the newest inductees into the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame:  the Lost & Found, the Nashville Bluegrass Band, and the late fiddler, Byron Berline.  (The fourth Inductee for 2026 is the late Barry Poss, founder of Sugar Hill Records).  All four of these inductees will be honored in ceremonies at the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards Show in Chattanooga on October 22nd.  Congratulations to all!

We also took about 30 minutes to have a telephone chat with the fun and talented Becky Buller, as she will be bringing her band to play as part of the Podunk Bluegrass Festival in Goshen, CT on Saturday, August 8th.  We shared lots of music from Becky -- both songs she wrote for other performers and herself, as well as selections from her IBMA nominated Album of the Year, "Songs That Sing Me."  Hope you've got plans to join me at the delightful Podunk Bluegrass Festival at the Goshen Fairgrounds.  The full schedule of performers can be found here.  See you there!

Join me again on the radio tomorrow afternoon, won't you?  We'll be there with another edition of Bluegrass Cafe from 4-7PM.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/18/2021

Our Bluegrass Cafe returned with a brand-new, homemade show for this Sunday.  There was lots of ground to cover, with numerous July birthdays to celebrate, a fine Bluegrass fiddler to remember, and some new music to share, too.

Among the birthday celebrants for this month were the late Charlie Louvin (born July 7, 1927), as well as Jesse McReynolds, Mike Barber, Ronnie Bowman, Ricky Skaggs, Richard Underwood, and Rhonda Vincent.

We remembered legendary Bluegrass fiddler, Byron Berline, who died on July 10th.  Berline was a part of lots of bands and recordings over the years, it was relatively easy to find a few spotlight fiddle tunes to showcase.  

And for new music, there was a couple of selections from a new all-gospel recording from Fast Track, as well as newer music from Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, and Jeremy Stephens.

Hope you were able to tune in this Sunday, but if not, there's always next week.  We'll see you then.

Enjoy the week!
