| American Folk and Bluegrass Music 814-274-8205 august@radiowcpr.com The music will take you back! |
| Let the music take you back in time! |
| August presents all of this music in contemporary acoustical playing styles picked up over a long playing career while serving in the US Army with Merle Travis's nephew, playing on stage with Bobby Freeman, and watching Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs and countless picking companions perform their magic. We've been hearing, "play more banjo," so we use it more nowadays. Folks love this music and are always up for a little picking. |
| August takes you on a nostalgic musical journey through the 19th and 20th centuries exploring the music popular in American culture as it evolved. Throughout our history music has closely followed our culture with songs about soldiers, lovers, chain gangs, coal miners, hobos and going to heaven. This is the favorite music of many, who say it takes them back to simpler better days. |
| August also entertains Civil War re-enactor units. We arrange longer and shorter American Folk and Bluegrass Music programs to fit various audience needs. |
| American Folk and Bluegrass Music takes you back through earlier times, when we built a great nation together, and expressed much of our love and pain and pride musically, with songs that are all important because they are someone's personal story. |
