Goin' Across the Mountain™

One of the hottest bands in contemporary bluegrass pays us a visit during Goin' Across the Mountain, on their way to the Old Rock School in Valdese Saturday evening. It's not surprising that Buddy Melton of Balsam Range says, “What defines a great band?

WNCW is proud to again partner with the Foundation Performing Arts Center to present “Goin’ Across the Mountain Live.” WNCW’s acclaimed bluegrass show “Goin’ Across the Mountain” is a favorite of traditional and contemporary bluegrass fans across the region every Saturday afternoon.

What an honor to have these two banjo greats return to WNCW. Join us as we welcome Bela and Abigail at the start of Goin' Across the Mountain, on their way to Shelby for a show Saturday evening at the Don Gibson Theatre. Béla's current Grammy count is 15 Grammys won, and 30 nominations. He has been nominated in more different musical categories than anyone in Grammy history.

Boston Bluegrass band Mile Twelve will be live in the studio this Saturday, September 23 during the 12 noon hour.  They will visit with Joe Greene during Goin' Across The Mountain and play some tunes in support of their new forthcoming CD "Onwards".

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.
