Join Caroline Wright in Kea‘au, Hawai‘i and Mike Kear in Sydney, Australia as they count down the 20 hottest bluegrass songs on the charts according to BluegrassToday.com. As always, Mike and Caroline will take a look at Bluegrass Today’s Grassicana and Gospel charts. They'll share some of this week's freshest, ripest bluegrass news. And this week brings a very special new segment: The Tiny Bluegrass History Lesson! For our inaugural installment, we are going to talk about one of the most famous venues in bluegrass history! It's been around for almost 50 years. It's a humble dive in the midst of an increasingly sophisticated metropolis. It serves almost nothing but beer and pimento cheese with Ritz crackers. And it's known as one of the friendliest, most welcoming venues in town, with a stage that has welcomed some of the biggest stars in bluegrass music. Let’s take a little trip to Nashville’s famous STATION INN! We’ll also meet a fellow who’s been a touring musician since he was a teenager, a guy who’s made a name for himself in all kinds of bands, including the Mashville Brigade, Mountain Heart, the Likely Culprits... and let’s not forget his turn as brother Darrel from the Darrell Brothers of Mountain Twerker fame. On February 10th, he'll release his second solo project in 24 years! In a new segment of Pickin’ On The Pickers, we’ll hear about the musical adventures of singer/songwriter/mandolinist ASHBY FRANK. Check it out this Sunday, January 8th, 2023, at podomatic.com/podcasts/mkear or on iHeart radio, Apple/iTunes, Amazon Music, Player FM, Audible, or wherever you catch your favorite podcasts!  And join our Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/bttop20 for advance notice of upcoming episodes, backstories and links for some of the show’s featured segments, and much more!
