Greg Cahill on Bluegrass Country
Special Consensus‘ Greg Cahill will join Katy Daley on WAMU’s Bluegrass Country on Tuesday morning (2/24) at 9:00 a.m.
Katy tells us that Greg will be calling in from home in the Chicago area before they head down to Florida for the Everglades festival this coming weekend.
“We’ll talk about their recent UK tour, European bluegrass and their Traditional American Music program, demonstrating bluegrass in schools. Plus, listeners can hear the title cut, Signs, a Statler Brothers song, I’ll Go To My Grave Loving You, and Gone to Carolina, from their new Pinecastle CD, which will be released in March.”
