Archival Programs Airing This Week

During a week when we celebrate all things bluegrass here in Nashville--and a week in which I'll be away from the studio a lot celebrating--it seemed like a good idea to revisit the ever-growing Bluegrass Junction archives for a look back a some of the shows we've aired in the past but which deserve another listen. Soooo, on my afternoon show (which airs at 3 PM ET each weekday), I've pulled out some "blasts from the past" which I hope you'll enjoy.

Monday

On Monday at 3 PM ET, I won't be around for the request show as usual, so I'm using this opportunity to rebroadcast a superb 2006 show we did with Barry Poss, the founder of Sugar Hill Records. At the time, the label had released a boxed set Barry had produced celebrating their first 25 years, and Barry joined me in studio to play and comment on songs from the box. We called that show A Salute to Sugar Hill, and it's over two hours of great music and great history.

Following A Salute to Sugar Hill Monday at 5:15 PM ET, we revisit another show from '06 featuring the IBMA's current Female Vocalist of the Year, Dale Ann Bradley. At that time, Dale Ann's Catch Tomorrow was just out, and she dropped by to share it with us.

Tuesday

Tuesday starting at 3 PM ET, we bring you a pair of our best Track-By-Track shows of the past six months. First up are the Infamous Stringdusters, who brought in their self-titled second album back in May. Andy Hall, Chris Pandolfi, and Travis Book joined me in-studio for that show.

The second Track-By-Track for the day, which will begin just after 4:30 PM ET features the show from earlier this month we built around Dan Tyminski's Wheels.

To round out the day, Tuesday at 5:30 PM ET we rebroadcast an April appearance in our studio by the Cherryholmes. At that time, they were beginning to talk about their forthcoming album, and they offer some interesting insights.

Wednesday

At 3 PM ET Wednesday, tune in for a visit with Michelle Cupit, who visited our studio on August 5. This was a great opportunity for us to get to know this fine singer, who's new to many bluegrass listeners.

Although it's not an archival program, Wednesday is the day for the final airing of our Track-By-Track with Ricky Skaggs. It airs at 4 PM ET.
