Acousticity
Time: Sunday 8 PM to Midnight
Host: Bruce Bergethon
Acousticity brings you bluegrass, singer/songwriter, Celtic and other roots musics, mixed together with live recordings from local clubs and concert venues. It's the whole spectrum of acoustic music from Alison Krauss to Doc Watson, Bill Monroe to Gillian Welch. It's "flexible folk" and it's only on GLT.
Thanks to the folks who pledged during GLT's fall fund drive to support acoustic music on the air! Find a list of recent releases Bruce thinks you'll like too.
