Merlefest 2007 streaming online
Merlefest 2007 begins this week. I’m sure this year will see another large crowd at the festival, but what about those of us that can’t make it? Well this year, we can listen in online.
All week long mvyradio.com will be broadcasting all weekend long from the festival. Thursday through Sunday they will be sprinkling highlights in their daily broadcasts. Sunday night at 10 PM will be a Best of Show from the weekend.
The campus radio station WSIF carries a feed from the main (Watson) stage and this year mvyradio.com will be streaming that feed all weekend long at RadioFreeMerlefest.org. The feed will be live, but if you miss a show you can find the archives of full sets at mvyradio.com and listen to them after the fact. The archives will include shows from other stages in addition to the main stage.
In addition to audio feeds, photos will also be uploaded all weekend long as well. Check the station’s Merlefest page for the photos and audio archives.

There's been so much bluegrass on The Grand Ole Opry this past few months that I feel like I'm repeating myself each Friday when I point out who's on. This week is no exception, with Mountain Heart performing on both the Friday and Saturday night shows from The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
