“Julia Belle: The John Hartford Fiddle Tune Project, Vol. 2 features nearly 50 leading women artists, and is one of the many fine 2025 releases you’ll hear on today’s Bluegrass Ramble show at noon. John’s music & wit lives on today because his family & his community loved & cared enough to keep it alive. He’s still inspiring a new generation of players & always believed in keeping the latch on the door open, bringing people in & welcoming them; not shutting them out. We think community radio shares that feeling as well.

Today, we’ll share some great bluegrass, Americana & old time music from this past year with Tom Keeney as your host. The bluegrass scene is as vibrant and growing as we’ve ever seen it and we’re glad to have you join us every Sunday for Bluegrass Ramble right here at KBCS.”
