Pickin on WHRV brings you two solid hours of traditional Bluegrass music each Sunday Night on 89.5. The show is deeply rooted in the first generation of Bluegrass stars who helped to launch and define the genre. The names which became forever linked to the music- Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, and Stanley, are celebrated each week. This week, we’ll hear selections from Cliff Waldron, Mac Wiseman, The Osborne Brothers, and Tony Rice. In 1979, the Osborne Brothers teamed with the legendary Mac Wiseman to release The Essential Bluegrass Album. It has been hailed as a classic and a must-have for any Bluegrass fan. Tune in for these and the other stars who helped to craft the original Bluegrass sound. Sunday Night at 7 on WHRV.
