Unsigned Bluegrass on SiriusXM
If you’re in an unsigned bluegrass band and want to have your music played on SIRIUS/XM, here’s your chance. Our favorite Mayor (of Bluegrass), Wichita Rutherford, has pledged to play music from one or two unsigned bands on his show every week for at least the next two months.
Then on May 8th and 9th, he’ll be devoting his entire show to unsigned bands/artists. He’s calling it, Wichita Rutherford Presents: The Best Unsigned Bands in Bluegrass.
If you want him to play your tunes, just send him an mp3 via email, or drop a CD in the mail. He’s playing them in the order he receives them, and compiling the best stuff into the special May 8 and 9 show. Your songs must be submitted no later than May 1, 2009 for inclusion.
Visit his website for email and mailing address, and more info.

Our buddy Wichita Rutherford is perceived by many as a funny man, and rightly so. But the truth is, he takes at least one thing seriously, bluegrass music! He has a lot of fun for sure, but he truly respects the music and the people who create it. His show this week should make that abundantly clear.
