Back Porch Bluegrass Free FM

Canadian band Jerusalem Ridge, NZ band Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, and lots of US bands here, all playing some fine bluegrass music.

Top bluegrass from Chris Jones, the Infamous Stringdusters, Larry Sparks , Blue Highway and others, and some classic ‘old-time’ music from Gid Tanner & the Skillet Lickers recorded almost 100 years ago but sounding right up to date.

This show features some music from Doc & Merle Watson, the early Country Gentlemen, the Band of Ruhks as well as top all-women band Sister Sadie, and some Aussie bluegrass from the Flying Emus.

The ‘classic’ bluegrass bands of Flatt & Scruggs and the Stanley Brothers influenced many of today’s top musicians. Here’s some classic bluegrass from the Earls Of Leicester and Keith Whitley & Ricky Skaggs, emulating their heroes. There’s also some top music from Claire Lynch, the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, and my favourites, the Nashville Bluegrass Band.

A real mixture of contemporary and traditional, from 2021 back to the early 1950’s, with bands such as The Kody Norris Show and the Church Brothers and Their Blue Ridge Ramblers.

I have former Hamilton County Bluegrass Band member Leonard Cohen in the studio with me. We’re talking about our days with the HCBB,
and his playing these days with bands Old South and Crooked Road.
