"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 12/29/2024

Our last Bluegrass Cafe for 2024 was spent sharing music from some of the fine Bluegrass folks who passed in 2024:  Herb Applin, Audie Blaylock, David Davis, Ben Eldridge, Bobby Hicks, Jim Mills, Roni Stoneman, Frank Wakefield, and Cliff Waldron.  All were amazing musicians who provided us many, many years filled with wonderful music that we will cherish and share forever.  May they all rest in peace.

We began our broadcast with selections from some of the folks who won awards during this year's International Bluegrass Music Association Awards ceremony at the end of September.  We even included a tune from newly-minted IBMA Hall of Fame member, Alan Munde.

And we couldn't not share some of the great music that was released during 2024.  There were lots of fine selections from everyone from Bronwyn Keith-Hynes to Junior Sisk, Red Camel Collective to Authentic Unlimited, and Tony Trischka to the Del McCoury Band and more.

Hope you're enjoying 2025...so far!  

Please join us on Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM as we present the first Bluegrass Cafe for the new year.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 10/1/2023

Before our next edition of Bluegrass Cafe airs tomorrow (4-7PM), it 's high time to get the playlist posted from our October 1st edition of this program!  We shared music from several of the big winners of IBMA Awards on September 28th, including Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Special Consensus, Greg Blake, Jason Carter, Authentic Unlimited, and Entertainer of the Year, Billy Strings).  We also included a couple of songs each from the three new members of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame:  Wilma Lee Cooper, Sam Bush, and David Grisman.  

We also took a few moments to remember the delightful Mark Wayne Kitchin ~ someone who was not only a noted country music DJ in eastern Connecticut for 30+ years, but also a Bluegrass bass player who made a record in the mid-1960s with some friends:  Fred Pike, Bill Rawlings & the Twin River Boys.  In addition, he also played a bit with Shady Creek in the 1990s. On a personal note, Mark was a radio mentor of mine for several years, and an all-around good guy who will be greatly missed.  Read his obituary here.  Rest in peace, Mark.

The next edition of our Bluegrass Cafe comes tomorrow afternoon at 4PM.  Hope you'll consider joining me.
