"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/20/2025

Our Bluegrass Cafe this past Sunday began with lots of music from two of the three newest members of the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame -- two wonderful bands which began in the 1970s and continued making wonderful records for the next several decades:  the Bluegrass Cardinals and Hot Rize.  Such fabulous music was created by all of these gentlemen, and how wonderful that members of each band still continue to create fine music for all of us to enjoy.  While we have always shared music from these performers during our Bluegrass Cafe shows, we'll emphasize each band a bit more as we get closer to their official HoF induction ceremonies in September at IBMA.  Congratulations to both bands!

Also, congratulations to the third posthumous 2025 inductee to the Bluegrass Hall of Fame -- someone whose influence was important to the beginnings of Bluegrass Music and especially to the Father of Bluegrass Music (Bill Monroe, of course!).  Arnold Shultz and his music were important early influences to Bill Monroe, and while Mr. Shultz never recorded, his music has lived on through our Bluegrass music.  

Staying in the Hall of Fame "theme" a bit, we celebrated the July birthdays of several important members of the Bluegrass Hall of Fame:  Sara Carter (July 21, 1898 - January 8, 1979), Foggy Mountain Boy Jake Tullock (July 23, 1923 - June 18, 1988), Bobby Hicks (July 21, 1933 - August 16, 2024), and Alison Krauss (born July 23, 1971).  

And, of course, new music was heard as well, from several performers, including Junior Sisk, Nick Chandler & Delivered, a band called Throwback Thursday, Hammertowne, and the late Bobby Osborne & C.J. Lewandowski & Friends.

Hope you're able to join us once again this Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe!  

Until then, enjoy the weekend!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/13/2025

Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe included lots of fine music, as you might expect.  Specifically, we heard some brand-new from a couple of different performers, including several selections from Connecticut's own Amy Gallatin & Roger Williams.  We also celebrated several July birthdays, so it was a full three-hours.

The July birthdays included a couple that were celebrated exactly on June 13th:  those of Mike Barber (a/k/a "The Third Gibson Brother"), the late Larry McPeak, and the Queen of Bluegrass, Rhonda Vincent.  Other July celebrants from whom we shared music include Wayne Taylor (of Wayne Taylor & Appaloosa fame), and Bluegrass Hall of Fame members Richard Underwood (long-time banjo player with the Johnson Mountain Boys) and Ricky Skaggs.  Happy Birthday to all!

New music selections came as singles from forthcoming recordings by the Tennessee Bluegrass Band, Dale Ann Bradley, and Danny Roberts.  We also heard selections from recently-released recordings by Seth Mulder & Midnight Run, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, the Kody Norris Show, Rrinaco, Carson Peters & Iron Mountain, Missy Raines & Allegheny, and Danny Paisley.  We also shared several selections from the brand-new recording by Connecticut performers, Amy Gallatin & Roger Williams.  Hope you were able to join us.  

We look forward to our next visit with you this coming Sunday afternoon.  Please tune in from 4-7PM, won't you?  

Enjoy the weekend!

P.S.  The "worts & all" broadcast -- as we learn how to navigate our shiny new soundboard -- can be heard for two weeks after each broadcast.  To listen to this particular show, here's the link that will remain in effect until July 27th.   Bluegrass Cafe Sun Jul 13 with Amy Orlomoski on WHUS Radio

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/21/2024

During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we celebrated the three newly-announced inductees into the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame for 2024:  long-time Bluegrass broadcaster Katy Daley, as well as two top-notch musicians, Jerry Douglas and Alan Munde.  We will focus on some of the music of Jerry Douglas in a future program, but this past week, we enjoyed playing a whole lot of fine tunes from the banjo innovator and educator, Alan Munde.  To that end, we included selections from Alan's time with Jimmy Martin & the Sunny Mountain Boys, and also included music from Alan guesting with the Country Store and New Kentucky Colonels, with the Country Gazette, with Joe Carr, and a song or two from Alan's 2023 solo release for Patuxent Music, "Excelsior."  Great music.  Congratulations to all of the IBMA 2024 Hall of Famers!

We also belatedly celebrated the 70th birthday of Ricky Skaggs (born July 18, 1954).  This Kentucky-born member of the Country and Bluegrass Music Halls of Fame has long been an important entertainer and musician, from his time working with Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys as a teenager to his multi award-winning country music career and back to his return to Bluegrass in the mid-1990s.  We celebrated all of it with several songs from the span of Ricky's career.  

There was a tiny bit of newer music shared, though none of it was really brand-new.  Instead, we heard from 2024 releases from Authentic Unlimited, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, Alison Brown & Steve Martin, Tony Trischka, the Del McCoury Band, Danny Paisley, Junior Sisk, the Price Sisters, a cut from the new Rick Lang-penned gospel recording, and the latest edition of the Cox Family.

Hope you were able to join us on Sunday afternoon.  Please consider tuning in this coming Sunday afternoon, won't you?  We'll have three hours of our Bluegrass Cafe starting off at 4PM.

See you then!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/14/2024

With a whole lot of the country being impacted by soaring temperatures during this mid-July edition of our Bluegrass Cafe, we opted to open the show with a few "cold" songs.  Not sure how much we succeeded in cooling folks down, but the thought was there...

A tiny bit of new music made its way onto the program on Sunday, when we heard brand-new music from Dan Tyminski, Alan Bibey, and Thomas Cassell.  There was also music from recent releases from Missy Raines, Daniel Grindstaff, Tony Trischka, and Junior Sisk.

Several mid-July birthdays were celebrated, as well, including those of Rhonda Vincent, Mike Barber, Richard Underwood, Ricky Skaggs, and Wayne Taylor.  In honor of the late Charlie Louvin (July 7, 1927 - January 26, 2011), we shared lots of songs from the Louvin Brothers Songbook.  Charlie was the shorter, younger, guitar-playing member of this immensely talented brother duo, and he and brother Ira wrote many of the songs they recorded over the years.  Lots of Louvin songs have been covered by Bluegrass performers over the years -- so many that we could probably have filled the whole three hours with Louvin tunes.  On Sunday, though, we limited ourselves to 14 covers of Louvin-penned songs.  Great stuff!

Hope you enjoyed the program!  I'll look forward to our next visit in the Bluegrass Cafe this coming Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM.  

See you soon!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/30/2024

Just moments before the start of Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, parts of eastern Connecticut experienced a very big rainstorm.  In honor of the unstable weather, we started the show with five songs featuring rain.  Hopefully, the weather will be less wet this coming Sunday, but you just never know with the New England summer weather...

July 1st is the birthdate of three important members of the Bluegrass community,
so we remembered all of them during our program:  Bluegrass Hall of Famer Everett Lilly, Country Music Hall of Famer Keith Whitley, and longtime Lost & Found mandolinist, Dempsey Young.  We also included a number from the late banjo picker (and Bluegrass Hall of Famer), Allen Shelton.  And we couldn't forget two important historical events which took place during the first days of July:  the disappearance of Amelia Earhart's airplane in 1937 and the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War (July 1-3, 1863).  

Can't forget to mention the new music we shared, as well, with a couple of selections from Tony Trischka's recently released "Earl Jam" recording, and songs from the Edgar Loudermilk Band, Blue Diggity, and Red Camel Collective.  

Hope you enjoyed the program, and best wishes for a safe and happy 4th of July!  We'll be looking for you once again this coming Sunday during our Bluegrass Cafe.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/30/2023

We celebrated the original Carter Family during this day's Bluegrass Cafe.  A.P., his wife, Sara, and her cousin, Maybelle first recorded for Ralph Peer on August 1, 1927, so we celebrated that event with 60+ minutes' worth of Bluegrass covers from the Carter Family Songbook.  Where would we be without their music?

And, as promised, here are a couple of reading ideas for books if you would like to learn more about the Carter Family:

• Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone?:  The Carter Family And Their Legacy In American Music by Mark Zwonitzer & Charles Hirschberg (Simon & Schuster, 2004)
• The Carter Family:  Don't Forget This Song by Frank M. Young & David Lasky (Abrams Comic Arts, 2012)

We included a bit of new or recent music from Rhonda Vincent & the Rage, Alan Munde, and the Kody Norris Show.  In addition, we shared new music from a couple of performers who will soon be featured at the upcoming Podunk Bluegrass Festival in Goshen, CT:  Darin & Brooke Aldridge, the Henhouse Prowlers, and East Nash Grass.  

Hope you have a great week!  We'll look forward to having you join us once again next Sunday from 4-7PM for our Bluegrass Cafe.

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 7/3/2022

For our July 3rd Bluegrass Cafe broadcast, we included a full hour's worth+ of patriotic songs performed in a Bluegrass style.  What else could you possibly expect on the day before Independence Day?  

Not only did we share songs to celebrate the 246th birthday of the USA, but we also celebrated several Bluegrass birthdays, including those of Keith Whitley, Dempsey Young, Charlie Monroe, Everett Lilly, Jesse McReynolds, Peter Rowan, and Jimmy Gaudreau.  

And, as always, there was a bit of newer music to share, with new or recent recordings from Irene Kelley, JR Williams, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Pam Gadd, Appalachian Road Show, Shelton & Williams, the Lost & Found, Mickey Galyean & Cullen's Bridge, Kathy Kallick, and Laura Orshaw.

Finally, we remembered in song two important historical events that took place in the early part of July:  the disappearance of the plane of Amelia Earhart (July 2, 1937) and the Battle of Gettyburg (July 1-3, 1863).

Hope you're all having a safe and happy 4th of July!  We'll look for you on the radio once again next Sunday afternoon from 4-7PM.

Enjoy the week!
