Those Who Can’t Attend World of Bluegrass Can Listen LIVE

It may not be the exact same experience as attending in person but when you just can’t, it sure is the next best thing.

Listeners who tune in daily to WAMU’s live broadcast will hear interviews and performances from some of the best the conference has to offer....and you’ll still be able to sleep in your own bed at night.

WAMU’s Bluegrass Country will present its sixth annual live broadcast from the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Annual World of Bluegrass, taking place September 24-27 in Raleigh, N.C.
 
Selected by a committee of Bluegrass Country hosts from a pool of 75 applicants, 24 bands will be featured during the four days of live broadcasting.

Interviews and performances will air on 105.5 FM in Washington, D.C., 93.5 FM in Frederick, Md., and WUNC 91.5 FM in Raleigh, N.C.

All broadcasts will be from noon-3 p.m., ET each day.
