Tonight on BEYOND on TheRootsFM, 10 pm

Join me at 10 pm tonight on TheRootsFM as we explore music from the edges of bluegrass. Tonight's show kicks of with some classic newgrass from the vault (Butch Robins, New Grass Revival, Dillard & Clark) before moving on to some of today's avant-grass artists (Infamous Stringdusters, Off The Rails, I'm With Her). Also, we'll visit with banjoist Wes Corbett about DRIFT, his stunning album of original instrumentals on which he's joined by an all-star cast of bluegrass's finest players. That's all coming up tonight at 10 pm on BEYOND on TheRootsFM.org, also available on the TuneIn Radio app.

Today on Down Yonder on TheRootsFM : 11.22.2025

Today's date is 11.22 -- that's two pair, so today's show is going to be a Double Play Saturday featuring two cuts by each artist. And, as an added bonus, in many cases there will be a guest artist who then becomes the featured artist for the next double play. Also, in the second hour I'll air my visit with Stephen Mougin. For 19 years, he's played guitar and sung with The Sam Bush Band. In addition to recording and performing with his wife, Jana Mougin, he runs the Dark Shadow Recording label, home to artists like Becky Buller, Rick Faris, the Henhouse Prowlers and others. He was just awarded the IBMA Award for Recording Engineer of The Year (though I say "Sound Engineer" during our interview; gentleman that he is, Stephen does not correct me). Listen live at 11 am on TheRootsFM.org and on the TuneIn Radio app. See you yonder ... and beyond.

John Hartford's reflections on Vassar Clements, handwritten on 3x5 index cards, his preferred vehicle for note-taking. Man, I wish I could have heard the triple fiddles of John, Vassar, and Byron, yeah buddy!

John and Vassar, plus Old & In The Way, Aereo-Plain, and Vassar's fiddle. It's all right here, in John's own words. John kept a lot of writing on 3x5 index cards, and filed them all away for reference. We don't know if he wrote these thoughts about Vassar Clements in 1993 for a book or

This Saturday on Down Yonder on TheRootsFM.org : 11.15.2025

The third show of the month means it's time for another Triple Play Saturday featuring three cuts from each artist. This week, there's a twist...

The nominees for the Grammy Awards were announced last week. In the first hour, I'll play three cuts by each artist nominated for Best Bluegrass Album -- two cuts from their Grammy-nominated album and one from their back catalog.

Last Friday, I went down to Springfield MO to see the Sam Bush Band perform at the Gillioz Theatre. Sam's old friend Alan Munde, now a Springfield resident, dropped by to sit in on a couple of tunes. I got the chance to visit with Sam and Alan -- and with Jimmy Rea of The The HillBenders, who opened for Sam and who perform at The Wildey Theatre in Edwardsville this Saturday. In the second hour, I'll play three cuts by Alan, Sam, and The HillBenders between excerpts from my visits with them.

Listen live at 11:00 am on TheRootsFM.org or on the TuneIn Radio app. See you yonder ... and beyond.
