The program will also feature an interview with guitarist Art Stevenson, the leader of High Water, who has been playing bluegrass music in the Midwest for 25 years. All of the featured musicians will be performing at the New Year’s Eve Jubilee Jamboree December 30th and 31st at Bernard’s Country Inn in Stevens Point.
