On this week’s show, we'll focus our attention on young folks playing Old-Time and Traditional Music. Just a few years ago, players of traditional music were a bit long in the tooth … but today many of the best have come out of academic and workshop experiences, and are playing some of the most vibrant and exciting renditions of new and classic songs and tunes. We’ll hear The Big Possum Stringband, Victor Furtado, Molly Tuttle, Anna & Elizabeth and many more. It’s Young Traditionalists … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
