Tim Stafford Joins Me On The Radio This Weekend

Tim Stafford of Blue Highway will be my interview guest on this week's Knee-Deep In Bluegrass. We will be talking about a variety of things, including: Blue Highway's 15th Anniversary and new Rounder Collection...The Tony Rice Biography that Tim has been working on for nearly a decade...and the new project he just completed with Steve Gulley of their original songs. Tim is a truly great ambassador for Bluegrass, having served on the Board of Directors for the International Bluegrass Music Association and so much more. He is one of my favorite songswriters, too. I hope you enjoy listening to the interview as much as I enjoyed recording it with Tim. Thanks for listening!~CB

Merlefest 2008

I have been fortunate to be working with Merlefest since it's start in 1988.  Every year is a unique experience.  I was Watson Stage MC Thursday evening for incredible talent like Blue Highway, Marty Stuart, Doc Watson, The Wilders and Old Crow Medicine Show.  I was back on the Watson Stage Friday morning for The Waybacks with Jim Lauderdale and Andy Hall and The Wilders with John Cowan and Sally Van Meter.  Friday afternoon I worked the Creekside Stage...the highlight of which was The Infamous Stringdusters with Tim O'Brien.  I also recorded some great interviews you will hear in the near future on Knee-Deep In Bluegrass.  I hope you enjoy the photos!~CB
