You've heard of Hot Girl Summer, right? Maybe not, but you're probably in good company. On the Porch, we tend to bluegrassify pop culture trends, so join us today as we kick off our very own HOT "MERLE" SUMMER! No, it's not all songs by the Merles of our genre, but we had to come up with a cool name for an hour of summertime tunes and songs about beating the heat. We'll get some help from Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Molly Tuttle, and Doc and Merle Watson. And join us for new music from Laura Orshaw Music, Town Mountain, Kelsey Waldon, S.G. Goodman, James McMurtry, Betty Soo and much more. Stream us live at www.wkms.org or tune in at 91.3fm. WKMS

“(Rob & Trey are an) acoustic firestorm…” —Vintage Guitar

“Dual lightning strikes in a bottle…” —Guitar Player

Take a 15-time IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Dobro Player of the Year and a Tennessee-born guitar prodigy who made his Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 11, and you have Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley, a powerhouse acoustic duo that has electrified the acoustic music scene.
