A couple of great shows coming up!

I won't be able to post about Across the Blue Ridge for a couple of weeks. No doubt you're heartbroken. But meantime, I want to let you know about two fabulous shows coming up. Starting January 6, we have selections from the April, 2016 concert by Red Clay Ramblers veterans Craver, Hicks, Watson & Newberry! It's a dilly. You'll love it.  Then starting January 13, it's a fine wintertime listening hour with the Sauceman Brothers on radio from the 1950s; icons of old time music including Burl Hammons and Fred Cockerham; and today's performers including Betse EllisAnna RG, Elizabeth Elizabeth LaPrelle and others. Public media featuring real people making real music with real acoustic instruments. They tell good stories too, that's for sure.  Click below anytime to listen, hear archived programs, find a station, subscribe to our podcast, check our playlists and blog. Join us for the great little show that nearly everybody loves.

Former 88.5 WFDD News Director Paul Brown founded Across the Blue Ridge at WFDD in the late 1980s. It was an instant hit, and was broadcast on WFDD for more than a decade until Paul left to become an executive editor, producer, reporter, and world newscaster at NPR in Washington, DC. Now Paul is back in his beloved Blue Ridge region, his journalism and storytelling skills honed better than ever. He's ready to present more music, share discussion with more interesting characters, and be your friend and guide in discovery. Paul is actively involved in today's acoustic music scene, crisscrossing the region and the country as a teacher, performer, and interviewer.
