The first music video from Little Mo' McCoury, Ronnie McCoury's new CD of bluegrass music for children, is now available online. It's for the song, Man Gave Names To All The Animals, and it's a real hoot.
Good morning from Nashville. Brance and I just had a chance to be a part of radio history. Katy Daley, whose morning bluegrass show is broadcast each morning on both BluegrassCountry.org and WAMU HD-2, is here at IBMA doing the show live from Music City. She invited us down to speak with her on air, [...]
After dinner, we trekked back up to the Rural Rhythm suite to catch the newest iteration of Mountain Heart perform live. I had heard some live tracks of the band since Josh Shilling joined as a vocalist, but had not seen them perform, and had not heard them at all since Clay Hess stepped in [...]
We spent part of our lunch hour today visiting with Carrie Hassler and the folks at Rural Rhythm Records. One of the hardest things about trying to keep to a schedule at IBMA is the fact that any trip from point A to point B will take you past a half dozen people you are [...]
I had a chance to talk this afternoon with Audie Blaylock, who has reformed his band, Redline, and is accepting dates for 2008 and beyond.

Tony runs the popular Kentucky Lake Bluegrass Festival, and Josh has been the guitarist and vocalist with Rhonda Vincent & The Rage. We had heard that [...]
Brance and I have landed at IBMA. There's plenty going on, and we even picked up some news to share. Look for some more posting shortly, once we have a bite to eat.
We've got a stack of new recordings to check out during the drive to Nashville, and we'll pass along some comments during the week. In the stack are Raising Sand from Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Bill Emerson & The Sweet Dixie Band, and John Sebastian & David Grisman along with several others. We also [...]
Brance and I are on our way to Nashville this morning, heading for the IBMA World Of Bluegrass Convention and trade show which kicks off today. We won't be exhibiting during the trade show this year, and will be able to cover the event much more widely than we have the previous two years. We'll [...]
Look for Sam Bush on GAC TV this afternoon at 1:00 p.m. He'll be on their Edge of Country show to talk with host Kylie Harris about his hosting the IBMA Awards Show on Thursday, and to preview the debut music video from his concert DVD, On The Road. This show will be rebroadcast several [...]
