Banjo is just one of the many instruments John McCutcheon plays. His original songs and traditionally oriented music have brought him a very loyal following.

Across the Blue Ridge is pleased to co-sponsor John McCutcheon at Muddy Creek Music Hall, Winston-Salem, NC this coming Saturday, October 28 at 8PM.  A Wisconsin native, McCutcheon knew from an early age that he had to perform roots music, learn as many instruments as he could, and write songs.  He continues an impressively successful career,  traveling the U.S. and the world, performing in concerts and plays.  He's recorded dozens of  albums and received numerous Grammy nominations.  John McCutcheon is known for his chops on hammered dulcimer but is equally adept on about a dozen instruments including guitar and banjo. We'll interview John about his life and career, his take on traditional and folk music, and more, for later broadcast. As of this writing, there's still limited ticket availability. 

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.
