Howdy Bluegrass fans! Welcome to the first episode of August! Students are already heading back to school next week here in the Nashville area! As summer starts to wind down, I decided to heat things up (that's really corny, I know!) with a great interview featuring author Tim Newby, who just published a book titled "Bluegrass in Baltimore: The Hard-Drivin' Sound and Its Legacy". Tim and I had a great chat... so take a listen to the episode and check out the links and info below to learn more about the topics you heard on the show!
