This week and next we’ll feature musicians who have been inspired by music from their home region and are quite proud of it. We’ll hear songs from Gordon Bok, The McIntosh County Shouters, Tyler Grant and Robin Kessinger, The Critten Hollow String Band along with many more. There’s no place like home … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
