In honour of his birthday we are featuring Paul Williams from the early years of his performing career with some songs from the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers as well as some songs with Jimmy Martin as well as his own band The Victory Trio.

On his birthday, we celebrated the music of Charlie Poole, some of which he sang and some of which we picked others performing his songs. We also had other birthdays to celebrate and some great new music. Enjoy and stay safe!

Our artist feature is a memorial to the late, great Mac Martin. Not as well known as some of the other artists of his generation, Mac provided some solid Bluegrass to Bluegrass fans in the Eastern US, particularly in his home area of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We have some birthdays to celebrate and new music to introduce to you. Enjoy and stay safe!
