GAC-TV was a primary sponsor of the IBMA Awards Show last week, and this week they are beginning a run of four episodes of their show Edge of Country, featuring a large number of bluegrass artists.

GAC describes Edge of Country as:

a great mix of bluegrass, Americana, country rock and traditional styles.

The footage was captured by GAC during the IBMA World of Bluegrass week in Nashville. From what I understand, it consists mainly of interviews conducted backstage during Fan Fest.

Some of the time slots are’t all that fantastic, but at this point it’s just nice to see some coverage of the event making to air.

According to the GAC website, the first segment runs tonight at 11 PM EST and then again at 3 AM EST.

The second segment will air only once at 1 PM EST tomorrow.

Similar times are given for the third and fourth episodes, set to air on October 19-20, 2007.

Here’s a list of the performer to be included in the series.

• Doyle Lawson
• Sam Bush
• Ronnie Bowman
• Jim and Adam of Mountain Heart
• Grascals
• Larry Cordle
• Chris Jones & John Pennell
• Rob Ickes
• Williams and Clark

• Cadillac Sky
• Donna Hughes
• Red Stick Ramblers
• Bradley Walker

UPDATE 9:45 a.m.: GAC will also air the new Randy Kohrs music video, Who’s Goin’ With Me, along with an interview with Randy following the Mountain Heart piece. The new video will then go into regular rotation on Edge Of Country.

Great American Country (GAC) will be rebroadcasting their special Alison Krauss program tonight (10/8) and tomorrow on their cable TV network. The show, Alison Krauss: A Hundred Miles Or More, finds Ms. Krauss in the studio, recreating many of the memorable performances from her recent CD of the same name.

She sings duets with James Taylor, Brad Paisley and John Waite, and her impeccable band, Union Station, is also featured.

The show airs this evening at 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. (10/9), and again on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. All times are US Eastern time.

Look for Sam Bush on GAC TV this afternoon at 1:00 p.m. He’ll be on their Edge of Country show to talk with host Kylie Harris about his hosting the IBMA Awards Show on Thursday, and to preview the debut music video from his concert DVD, On The Road.

This show will be rebroadcast several more times over the next few days, but the times are not yet listed on the GAC site. Look for re-airings of Videos From The Edge in the GAC listings if you miss today’s showing.

Cherryholmes will be featured on Opry Live this Saturday, during the televised portion of The Grand Ole Opry broadcast on GAC TV.

The show airs at 8:00 p.m. (ET) on Saturday (8/18), and again that same evening at midnight. It repeats at noon and 7:00 p.m. on Sunday (8/19), and once more on Tuesday (8/21) at 9:00 p.m.

You can hear the entire Saturday Opry radio show on WSM 650 AM from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., or via live streaming at WSMonline.com. Highlights from the show will be available in the WSM audio archives next week.
