It’s a night of bluegrass music on the show this week, as I feature the lively and talented band from coastal North Carolina, Molasses Creek, and the unique sound of the Infamous Stringdusters. I’ll also play tracks from new releases by Bryan Sutton, Mason Porter and Bennett Sullivan, to name just a few. Tune in and listen this Saturday at 8pm to Fresh Folk on Utah Public Radio.
