"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/26/2021

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe started with music appropriate for the changing seasons, and also included all five nominees for IBMA Song of the Year, lots of birthday tributes, new music, and a few classics, too.  

The big International Bluegrass Music Association World of Bluegrass event takes place this coming week in Raleigh, North Carolina, with the highlight event coming on Thursday, September 30th when the IBMA Awards ceremony is held.  We played all five songs that are nominated in the category of Song of the Year.  We also shared selections from the three newest members of the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame:  Alison Krauss, Lynn Morris, and the Stoneman Family.

There were several Bluegrass birthdays to remember this week, including those of Laurie Lewis, Kathy Kallick, Marty Stuart, and others.  We also paid tribute to Country Music Hall of Famer, Marty Robbins (September 26, 1925 - December 8, 1982).    

Hope you were able to enjoy this beautiful last Sunday of September.  We'll be looking forward to joining you again next Sunday, too.

Have a good week!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/25/2021

And here we are -- the last Sunday of July, already!  The summer is definitely flying by, whether it seems like that should be true, or not.  Mid-summer usually means the announcements from the International Bluegrass Music Association of nominees for IBMA Awards to be given out in late September.  This day's Bluegrass Cafe cast a spotlight on a whole bunch of 2021 IBMA nominees, and, of course, we also shared some newer music and celebrated a birthday or two.

It's always exciting to see who is going to be inducted into the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame each year, and this year, two of the three inductees are top-notch female performers:  Alison Krauss and Lynn Morris.  To that end, we shared lots of music from each of these ladies.  The third Hall of Fame inductee for 2021 is the dynamic Stoneman Family.  Unfortunately, I do not have any Stoneman Family music at my disposal in my home music library, but we'll try to play some music from this family before too long.

We included music from several IBMA Award nominees throughout the program.  Good luck to all of the nominees!

Thanks for listening for our program this week.  Please consider joining us once again next Sunday afternoon, 4-7PM.

Have a good week!
