Last week, we featured traditional musicians who have acted as mentors to younger players. This week we’ll focus on some of the next generation artists who have been inspired by those masters. We’ll hear from Stephen Wade, Hannah Shira Naiman, The Early Mays, Jake Blount, The Gilded Bats, Carla Gover and many more. Carrying traditional music forward … this week on The Sing Out Radio Magazine.
