Bluegrass mainstays Jamie Dailey and Darrin Vincent will be live in the air studio with Joe Greene on Friday between 1:30 and 2:30 ahead of their show Friday evening at The Don Gibson Theater in Shelby. They're also promoting their new album, A Beautiful Life.

The latest release from one of our favorite bands marks a return to the bluegrass foundations that first bound them together, approached with the confidence and emotional range earned through years of collective evolution. It is an affirmation that bluegrass still contains endless expressive possibilities. Themes of history, chance, and generational continuity recur throughout this new, 15th album from the band. And it marks their 25th anniversary! Steve Martin and Edie Brickell guest on this one.

Written across Bolinas, the North Carolina Piedmont, and a Santa Fe motel room, this new album from M.C. Taylor and Hiss Golden Messenger traces the artist’s search for clarity through landscapes both external and internal. These songs move through heartbreak, aging, fatherhood, desire, disillusionment, and the hard-won hope that remains after the spirit has been scraped bare.

Come out and join other WNCW listeners at Oskar Blues in Brevard. Live music with Caitlin Krisko and The Feels. Beer release collaboration between Noblebraü Brewing and Oskar Blues. Raffle, door prizes, and more! See you there!

David LaMotte is an inspiring, compassionate singer, songwriter, guitarist, author, and speaker from Montreat, NC. We’ve enjoyed having him in Studio B and playing his recordings over the years. Now we’re excited to welcome him and another great regional artist, Chinobay, before their Tryon performance with Chris Rosser and River Guergarian. A native of Uganda, Chinobay now calls Rutherford County home, and the two have been involved in an exciting collaboration this past year!
