Merlefest audio archived at mvyradio.com
Brance mentioned last month – just ahead of the Merlefest weekend – that a number of live onlive audio streams would be available from the festival, and that audio archives would be available as well after the fact.
You can find these archives at Martha’s Vineyard Radio (mvyradio.com) where a mix of stage shows, workshops, jams and interviews from Merlefest 2007 are listed alphabetically.
With the far ranging musical diversity that is a Merlefest trademark, you can expect to find sets from some of your favorite acts and also discover something new. Bluegrass and acoustic music fans will surely be interested in the performances from headliners like Sam Bush, Cherryholmes, Del McCoury, Doyle Lawson, Peter Rowan and The Nashville Bluegrass Band.
Some special highlights are the guitar mini-concert with Bryan Sutton and Chris Eldridge, multiple performances by The Infamous Stringdusters and Uncle Earl, a set by Crooked Still and one by The Lovell Sisters.
Songwriters get their due as well, with a open mic set from Mark “Brink” Brinkman and Chris Austin Bluegrass Songwriting contest winner Jeanette Williams.
There are hours of great live music at the mvyradio.com Merlefest 2007 audio archives. Set some time aside and sample the sounds.

I just want to mention that there is the opening set that The Steep Canyon Rangers performed that was awesome. They sing some of the songs from a CD that will be released later this summer. ALso, Graham Sharp from the Rangers had a songwriter’s set that is also on the archives. I missed the songwriter’s set, but was there for the opening and they were outstanding.
