"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 8/24/2025

Before this afternoon's session of our Bluegrass Cafe begins, here's a quick recap from last week's edition:

We shared lots of music in celebration of the birth anniversaries of two Bluegrass Hall of Famers -- Carter Stanley (August 27, 1925 - December 1, 1966) and J.D. Crowe (August 27, 1937 - December 24, 2021).  Where would the Bluegrass world be without the stylings of these two greats?  Who wants to think about that?  Not me!

There were also a few new songs to share from several performers, including Greg Blake, Matt Wallace, and Authentic Unlimited, among others.

We'll be joining you once again today -- Sunday, August 31st -- from 4-6PM, cutting out a bit early to make way for the broadcast of a UConn Soccer match.  Hope you can join us for today's Bluegrass Cafe, as we'll pack in a whole bunch of fine tunes!

See you later!

"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 - 7/27/2025

Some weeks, I go to WHUS on Sunday afternoons with a start-to-finish plan of what music we're going to play for you during our three-hour Bluegrass Cafe broadcast.  Other weeks, I haven't a clue.  This past Sunday, I leaned more toward the latter category, but I think everything turned out okay.  Hope you agree!

There was a little bit of newer music from the likes of the great Larry Sparks, as well as Becky Buller's new project of covers.  We also shared recent music from Red Camel Collection, the Seldom Scene, Seth Mulder & Midnight Run, Danny Paisley, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Amy Gallatin & Roger Williams, Rick Faris, Missy Raines & Allegheny, Laura Orshaw, and the Kody Norris Show.

Thanks for joining me on Sunday.  We'll see you again tomorrow afternoon from 4-7PM for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.

See you then!

"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 - 7/6/2025

Here's a quick look at last Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe.  We included new music from several performers including Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Laura Orshaw, Rick Faris, and Rrinaco (Corrina Rose Logston Stephens).  We also belatedly celebrated the 79th birthday of Rhode Island native, Jimmy Gaudreau (born July 3, 1946).

Hope you'll join us this afternoon for another edition of our Bluegrass Cafe.  We'll be there for three big hours beginning at 4PM.

See you then!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/22/2025

During Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe, we belatedly celebrated Father's Day with several songs performed by Bluegrass fathers and their offspring.  We included songs by Bluegrass fathers and sons and daughters with last names of Feinberg, Harrell, Holt, McCoury, McGee, Monroe, Mullins, Paisley, Parmley, Stanley, Tuttle, and Watson.  

New music played a large part in our broadcast, as well, as we included songs from recent or soon-to-be released projects by Wyatt Ellis, Rrinaco (also known as Corrina Rose Logston Stephens), Ralph Stanley II & the Clinch Mountain Boys, Don Rigsby, C.J. Lewandowski, Seth Mulder & Midnight Run, the Kody Norris Show, the Tennessee Bluegrass Band, Danny Paisley, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Missy Raines & Allegheny, the Seldom Scene, the Henhouse Prowlers, Laura Orshaw, Carson Peters & Iron Mountain, and Special Consensus.  Phew!  That's a whole lot of new!

Our next Bluegrass Cafe will be one from the archives, but we'll be back with another live broadcast on the first Sunday of July.  Sure hope you can join us!

Until then, take care and stay cool!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/8/2025

Early June seems like a good time to celebrate a birthday, so we did quite a bit of that during Sunday's Bluegrass Cafe.  Our show started with several selections featuring the great Tony Rice (June 8, 1951 - December 25, 2020), as even though the man is probably best known for the way he played his guitar, his vocals were always stellar, too.  

Other birthdays we celebrated on Sunday included those of a Bluegrass pioneer who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, Gloria Belle (June 9, 1939 - May 5, 2023), as well as a current singer who may someday be inducted into the Hall of Fame, Jamie Dailey (born June 9, 1975).  And we belatedly celebrated the birthday of a fine New Hampshire songwriter who also happens to be a nice guy, Rick Lang (born June 8, 1947).  Happy Birthday to all!

We spent about 45 minutes of our three hour broadcast today celebrating trains. The romance of the train never seems to go out of style, and we could easily fill a couple of shows with songs about this mode of transportation.  Maybe someday we will do just that.

Next week's Bluegrass Cafe will be one from the archives, but I'll plan to join you once again live in the studio on June 21st.  Hope you have a fine week, and, as always, thanks for listening to our program!

"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 6/1/2025

On the first day of June, we shared lots of songs in honor of a Bluegrass pioneer who would have turned 100 years old on June 1st -- Bluegrass Hall of Famer Hazel Dickens (June 1, 1925 - April 22, 2011).  In addition to being a raw, authentic, honest singer, Hazel was an amazingly wonderful songwriter.  We shared several of her songs on Sunday, including Hazel herself, Hazel with her long-time musical partner, Alice Gerrard, and several Hazel covers from lots of performers, including Flatt Lonesome, the Lynn Morris Band, Laurie Lewis & Kathy Kallick, Missy Raines & Allegheny, James King, and Hot Rize.

New music was a big part of the show, as well, as we included music from recently released- or soon-to-be-released recordings by Danny Paisley, Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Missy Raines & Allegheny, Route 3, Shawn Lane & Richard Bennett, Ashley Graham, C.J. Lewandowski (with Del McCoury), Becky Buller, and Jason Burleson.

Hope you enjoyed the show, and are enjoying your June, so far!  We'll look forward to having you join us once again this coming Sunday afternoon for our next Bluegrass Cafe.

Have a good week!
