We'll take a look at JormaKaukonen, known for his work with Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna. Rolling Stone ranked him #54 in its list for the top 100 greatest guitarists of all time. He'll be performing April 28th, 29th and 30th at MerleFest this year. Tift Merritt's music will also be featured on the show this week. She is a critically acclaimed sing-songwriter who has just released a new record titled Stitch of The World. She'll be performing Saturday, April 29th at the festival. We'll also hear some "Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass" from Leftover Salmon. This unique Boulder, Colorado group will jam on Friday, April 28th at MerleFest 2017. Steve Johnson has an interview with Raleigh, North Carolina bluegrass band Chatham County Line. These pickers are known for being traditional and valuing our Old North State bluegrass heritage... we'll definitely spin some tunes from CCL! The group is scheduled to play at the festival on Friday, April 28th. We've heard there's going to be a few surprises on the show this week. Too cool! You won't want to miss all this and your dose of Doc and Merle as well. Join WNCW Music Host Joe Greene Sunday at 6pm for MerleFest Radio Hour on 88.7 or online at wncw.org.
