Goin' Across the Mountain™

Two highly revered banjo maestros in bluegrass and other styles visit us on Saturday afternoon. Bill Evans keeps up a busy schedule as an instructor and mentor for professionals and amateurs alike, and Alan Munde is perhaps best known for his long tenure in Country Gazette, after starting off with Jimmy Martin & the Sunny Mountain Boys way back when. They each perform alone and together every once in a while, and it's a treat to welcome them both to WNCW for a chat with Joe Greene before their show at the Isis Restaurant & Music Hall's upstairs lounge Saturday evening.

We're giving away a package to the Red, White and Bluegrass Festival happening July 1-4, 2017 in Morganton, NC.  The prize package includes a pair of tickets to all four days of the festival with reserved seating, accommodations at the Hampton Inn of Morganton, NC and a WNCW Festival Package.

Super Pickers Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley stop by Goin’ Across The Mountain Saturday, March 11.  Join Dennis Jones in the 1:00pm hour for all the news about their new album, touring and what’s going on in the Wide World of Bluegrass and Acoustic Music.

Lorraine Jordan has found great success in the bluegrass world, whether as a co-founder of the Daughters of Bluegrass, or with her current group Carolina Road. She received the SPBGMA “Entertainer of the Year and Traditional Female Vocalist” in 2015, and her banjoist Ben Greene won Banjo Player of the Year. Josh Goforth, Tommy Long, and Jason Moore round out the band, and they've been recording and touring a lot with country greats Eddy Raven, John Anderson, & other Country stars this year.
