Late Night Pickin with The Lonesome River Band

Tune in for some late-night Bluegrass when The Best of Pickin features music from the Lonesome River Band. Sammy Shelor formed the group in 1982 and despite many personnel changes, the band continues to perform and release new material (Shelor is the only original member to remain). We'll also hear from Audie Blaylock and his band Redline, Del McCoury, Tony Rice, Molly Tuttle teaming with old Crow Medicine Show and Blue Highway's Shawn Lane teaming with Richard Bennett, who performed with the legendary JD Crowe and the New South. And new music from Alison Krauss and Union Station, Watchhouse, and The Kody Norris Show. It's been a hectic week- so relax with The Best of Pickin. Friday night 10-12 on 89.5

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
