Katie’s guests in the second hour today are bluegrass/Americana duo Corn Nut Creek, aka Tanya Bradley and Dani Vita. We find out how they met and started making music together and what went into making their excellent debut album, Hearts in Bloom. There’s also a discussion of the music that comes from the Appalachian Mountains in eastern USA, and the differences and overlap between folk, country, bluegrass and roots music. Tanya and Dani play a couple of their songs live, too! Here is the playlist:
