Have You Noticed a Pattern?

Mountain music, rooted from Ireland, Scotland, and England, in the 1600s, evolved into what is now considered Bluegrass. In the 1939, the father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe formed a band called, “Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys.”

Today’s bluegrass music is usually played on acoustic string instruments. Specifically, the fiddle, banjo, guitar, bass guitar, and the mandolin. The Bluegrass genre is widely diverse and can range from Jazz to Celtic music, and is influenced from traditional Country Music, mainstream, or Rock and Roll.

I don’t know If our readers have noticed a pattern or not yet. We like to feature local artists that are involved in the community. It is a lot of work to continually improve our community and we appreciate all that our featured artists accomplish, beyond creating soul satisfying music.

This week we are featuring, local artists, Wispy Mallow. Influenced from the father of Bluegrass himself. Their harmonious vocals and acoustic vibrations flowing from their stringed instruments will get any crowd moving. Not only does Wispy Mallow create this ear pleasing noise, they volunteer at the nursing homes in the area. Playing tunes for the residents and hosting game nights that are, according to the residents, the highly anticipated event of the week. We at the Dial love the idea of helping our older generation continue to have joy in their lives.

Tune In to 97.3 The Dial, The Sounds You Love.
