Got 'Grass?
More than picks and strings, we explore the musical stories, the hopes and dreams, and some of the hard times, of life as a bluegrass star. You'll find them Insightful, often funny, sometimes discouraged, in other words, human! Hosted by Chris Wuerth from GuitartownCT concerts in Hamden, CT.
